Hi all
I have been playing around with server core adding a domain controller to it and see how that works.
My test lap is in virtual server from microsoft. Im running a 32 bit core server which i ran a DCPROMO on with this answer file setup (this is just a bulk)
[DCINSTALL]
InstallDNS=yes
NewDomain=forest
NewDomainDNSName=
DomainNetBiosName=
SiteName=
ReplicaOrNewDomain=domain
ForestLevel=
DomainLevel=
DatabasePath=”
LogPath=”
RebootOnCompletion=yes
SYSVOLPath=”
SafeModeAdminPassword=
I left SiteName blank since i wanted the DCPROMO installer to go with default settings on that one. I don’t even know what it is 🙂 the microsoft KB didn’t tell me much 🙂
After the install the DNS role and the directoryservices-domaincontroller-serverfoundation was installed(By DCPROMO NOT ME). I still couldn’t get my client to logon to the domain. I tried adding the Directoryservices-ADAM-servercore role to my Core server which did nothing either.
My client is a virtual 32 bit windows vista buisness.
When i try to get it on the domain it says that an active directory domain controller for the domain offerlamlap.local (my domain name) could not be contacted. When i click for details it told me
“the following error occured when DNS was quried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an active directory domain controller for domain offerlamlap.local”
Now i went to my Core to check the DNS settings. Im running admin pack and connect to core DNS through that.
As fare as i can see it works fine. In my forward lookup zone i have the _msdcs.offerlamlap.local and the offerlamlap.local. In the offerlamlap.local i allso have the right A records and such.
When i go to my DNS events i only have some old warnings saying my DNS couldn’t load zone for offerlamlap.local from active directory and say that it may be caued because of high load. but its a old log from yestoday so i don’t think thats the problem but its the only error i have.
Event ID: 4521
Source: DNS
The DNS server encounterede error 32
could anyone tell me whats wrong here? or any good suggestions as to how to further troupleshoot this error?
