netlogon and sysvol shares missing

hello people,

I have one DC / GC running on W2K3 std SP2 server. Today netlogon and sysvol
shares are missing. Users can't logon on their computers. I've restarted the
server and succesfully loged on with domain administrator credentials. I
must precise that on the same server exchange 2003 is installed.
I don't know where to start looking.

Do you have any idea?

many thanks in advance

mike

Do you have a backup that you can restore the missing files from? Otherwise
you will have to rebuild with the base install defaults.

Hello Mike,

If the articles posted from Paul doesn't help, please give some more infos
about the domain setup, total amount of DCs and how they are located. Additional
some infos how you have DNS configured in the domain. Additional make sure
that all machines use only domain DNS servers on the NIC and not any ISPs
DNS server.

It is not recommended to run Exchange on Domain controllers, so if you have
solved the sysvol/netlogon problem you should think about moving it to a
member server. DCs should only do there basic job, AD/DNS/GC and maybe DHCP,
that's it. That way you can demote it if needed without any problem, IF ADDITIONAL
DC/GC/DNS servers exist in the domain.

Best regards

Thank you Paul & Meinolf,

As explained in the kb and regarding the infrastructure topology ( only one
server ), the problem seems to be +- solved by updating the regkey BurFlags
from 0 to D2.

Sysvol share apprears and the logon works on the stations.
I am now looking for the missing netlogoon share.

Any idea ?

Best regards,
Mike

Hello Mike,

Have a look on this one also:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257338

So you have only one DC in the domain and never had another one before? Then
you should add a second DC/DNS/GC to the domain for failover and redundancy
reason asap.

Hi,

The folder scripts into SYSVOL was missing, I created it, netlogon is now
shared.
It's ok now.

I made a mistake by setting BurFlags to D2 , I had to set D4. SYSVOL as been
purged and I had to recreate the group policy and logon script but all is
fine.

I still have to resolve a W23Time issue but it seems that the problem comes
from the firewall.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards,
Mike

Good that you got that working. Going back to your w32time issue. What
errors are you getting? Why do you think it's the firewall?

Ace

I configured the be.pool.ntp.org by the registry and/or by the command line,
than trying a /resynch after a net stop / net start, nothing.
I don't remember the exact error message but it was something like "unable
to connect to the time server" like a closed port. the ping to the
be.pool.... works and I can't test with telnet because it's using UDP.

I tryed with winpcap, it seems to be like a firewall issue, it send packets
but I don't receive any information back.

The Firewall have a time synchronisation, after this test I tryed to
configure the firewall as the time server ( for test), nothing works and I
have this problem on probably more than 8 SBS 2003
Following a migration, I have a new network with SBS 2008 Premium and the
same firewall, the NTP synch works perfectly.

A step by step requirement and configuration could be appreciated if you
have in stock.

Thank you for the follow and for your help.
