    Global Catalog Server Not Found

    I have got 1 domain, 2 DCs with Windows 2003 and dcdiag gives error that GC server cannot be located and KDC cannot be located. Also the errors in FRS log on both DCs that they are not able to communicate to sync sysvol and netlogon shares. The users are not directly login to the domain and exchange services fail without GC, etc. Can anyone please help? Below is the failure message:

    dcdiag failure follows:

    The following problems were found while verifying various important DN references. Note, that these problems can be reported because of latency in replication. So follow up to resolve the following problems, only if the same problem is reported on all DCs for a given domain or if the problem persists after replication has had reasonable time to replicate changes.

    Re: Global Catalog Server Not Found

    You can try to check if this server is deleted and if so, clean up this DCs Sysvol FRS Member object. Also check the knowledge base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312862

    Did you lose a DC without cleaning up afterwards? I think that, the info has guided you on what to do. When you follow this info and you either dont get the desired results or some other question arises repost.
