I have two servers, one w/Win Srv SBS Prem Ed 2K3 (Srv 1) and the other Win
Srv Std Ed 2K3 (Srv 2). All updates have been applied. Srv 1 was up and in
production for several months before Srv 2 came on-line.
Srv 1 was installed and config'd with an internal domain (domain.local) and
Srv 2 was joined to the .local domain then dcpromo'd with plans to make Srv 2
a BDC. The dcpromo was uneventful. AD installed on Srv 2 as a result of the
dcpromo and the user accounts replicated. DNS was installed on Srv 2 via
Add/Remove. Both servers are config'd to allow secure updates.
As an aside the Srv 1 does have two NIC's with one pointing to the LAN on
one subnet and the other to the WAN on another subnet. And Srv 2 has one NIC
on the same subnet as Srv 1 LAN NIC. Per a MS KB I have made the primary DNS
on Srv 1 the IP address of Srv 2 and Srv 2's primary DNS the IP address of
Srv 1. Wth the secondary being their own IP address.
At this time both servers DNS reflect their own and the others A records
however I'm getting a Netlogon error on both servers when they try to perform
a dynamic registration of thier respective DNS record on the other server. I
have run DCDiag /test:connectivity /s:dcname and netdiag /test:dns and all
responses are passed. I have stopped and started DNS and the Net Logon
service as indicated in KB's and I have walked the DNS trees on each server
but I have not been able to find the problem. When the Net Logon service is
restarted more errors are listed in the System Log.
The error is Netlogon
Event ID: 5774
The dynamic registration of the DNS record
'97adc2e7-9a51-4006-a405-061daec8f2fd._msdcs.domain.local. 600 IN CNAME
srv1.domain.local.' failed on the following DNS server:
DNS server IP address: 192.168.2.132
Returned Response Code (RCODE): 5
Returned Status Code: 9016
The above IP address is the IP address of Srv 2. Likewise there is a similar
error on Srv 2 when it tries to update Srv 1. Obviously the appropriate info
is changed in the error msg.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
