Hi,
I have 2 Domain Controllers (Windows Server 2008 Enterprise) both are also running DNS (AD integrated).
When I boot both servers up at the same time (or boot a single server), they stay at "Applying Computer Settings" for about 5 mins. I have read various things mentioning DNS client settings. If I boot 1 AD server, it will hang at this point as well, then I boot the second AD server it boots normally.
My DNS client settings on each server are:
AD01
Preferred DNS: 127.0.0.1
Alternate DNS: 192.168.99.32 (AD02)
AD02
Preferred DNS: 127.0.0.1
Alternate DNS: 192.168.99.31 (AD01)
Is there anything I am missing? Is this normal behavior for 2 domain controllers? This is causing a problem with my 2008 cluster, which the cluster name will not come online, I think this problem is related to the slow booting of DNS/AD.
