Hello,

I have installed a entreprise CA on my new domain. I see that all my
DC recieved a Domain Controler certificate except one.

If I check the log I can see two event :

First : Eventid 6 :

Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed (0x800706ba)
The RPC server is unavailable.

Second : EventID 13 :

Certificate enrollment for Local system failed to enroll for a
DomainController certificate with request ID N/A from
DCSHDCT02.mydomaint.local\mydomain-DCSHDCT02-CA (The RPC server is
unavailable. 0x800706ba (WIN32: 1722)).

The message seems to be clear, but if i try to do a telnet one
DCSHDCT02 I can see a connection! Then, I can say the RPC server is on
and working well.

Can anybody help me?

It's more than just telnet. The RPC server is unavailable message simply
means it either cannot fully communicate with the necessary ports to the
server, DNS cannot resolve all necessary records (SRV and "A" records), or
the server is completely down. Since you can telnet, then it's indicating
the server is up but there are possibly some firewall ports blocked. Within
a private infrastructure, it is assumed that all ports are allowed and
opened between all servers and workstations.

I remember you said you 'changed your firewall strategy' in another thread
regarding your Sites issues. What exactly is your new strategy?

Hi
To test do a SMB connection: "\\CAName.yourdomain.tld" from that DC. IF it
asks for authentication credentials, you may have a FW issue, name
resolution problems (from CA side or DC side). A workaround for this may be
to cache the credentials on DC side (using the option save the credentials
when you're doing the SMB connection).

I hope that the information above helps you.
Have a Nice day.

Hello,

You say :

> To test do a SMB connection: "\\CAName.yourdomain.tld" from that DC.

What is the CAName ? My computer name ? like dcshdct02 ? or the name I can
see on the Certification authority MMC?

I can browse the CA with the comupter name \\dcshdct02 but not the name I
see on the CA MMC.

Ok fist I have block all trafics execpt for AD port. But, I discover that
with winsows 2008 r2 Ad need to have a range of port open. Then I open IP
communication between all DC! Then, I can say that it's not a problem with
my firewall!

There are numerous ports that AD needs, as you know. Usually we just open it
up wide open and let it have everything, otherwise if you try to make port
exceptions in a firewall, it turns it into Swiss cheese anyway.

Can you post exactly what ports you opened up? Also, if you followed an
article on what ports to open, can you post the article you followed?

The CAName is the computer name of your CA (Certificate Authority) server.

Is dcshdct02 the name of the CA? If so, what do you mean by can't browse by
the name in the CA MMC console? what name is that?

That's good you opened all traffic. There are more ports that are required
than you posted. That was why you got the errors. You were missing the
Service ports.

For more information on ports required, please read the following to
understand better what ports AD requires. It's not as simple as the ports
you mentioned. That was why I was saying it is easier just to allow ALL
ports, for after all, if it is an internal private network, you are safe
anyway.

That appears to be the CA name you gave it, not the computer name.

Can you connect to the CA using a browser? If you can, you can request a
cert.

https://dcshdct02
or
http://dcshdct02

Also, you said that you've opened the firewall up wide open, correct? That
should have alleviated the RPC errors. However, if it didn't resolve the
errors, then something else is going on. It could be using the wrong DNS,
multihomed DC (more than one NIC and/or RRAS is installed on a DC) which
will cause these problems, too, due to incorrect DNS lookups, which will
stop GPOs from applying, among other things.

Can you post an ipconfig /all from the DC, as well as any EventID# errors
(App, System, FRS, Dir Service logs)?

Is the CA service started?
Did you test SMB from that DC?
IS that DC passing through ISA? IF yes, can you disable the RPC filter for
that rule and test again? You may need to reboot the DC twice until that
error goes away.

Hold on...
If you're going to reboot the CA...
1St the CA, after the CA is up, do 2 reboots with a logon between them on
the DC.

Another thing, please check if you have any thyrd party FW installed on the
DC and CA. For instance, some antivirus have additional products that
provides FW capabilities.

In a multi-site scenario, I suggest, as well as the consensus, to use itself
as the first DNS entry, and the other one as the second entry, otherwise all
intial queries will be hitting the first entry across the WAN link.

Good you removed the loopback. That was put in by dcpromo.

Thank you for posting this info. All the errors indicate the CA is not
resolvable or responding. Follow Jorge's suggestions.

Also, I was curious of this part, but I didn't see it in your response:

Can you connect to the CA using a browser? If you can, you can request a
cert.

Hello,

To answer your question, I can access to http://dcshdct02/certsrv but not
the https://dcshdct02/certsrv

I already try to request a cert but I don't see any domain cert!

I see a strange behavior. If I connect to the a dc with my administrator
login then try to connect to the url : http://dcshdct02/certsrv I see
directly the web page.

But if I try this on the dcitdct01, I need to enter my credential info! May
be it's could be the problem!

Have you any idea

I do exacly what you say. But I have always the two errors :

First :

DomainController certificate with request ID N/A from

APSHDCT02.audemarspiguet.local\audemarspiguet-APSHDCT02-CA (The RPC server

is unavailable. 0x800706ba (WIN32: 1722)).

Second :

Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed (0x800706ba) The
RPC server is unavailable.

Using the URL with the NetBIOS name while logged on as Domain Admin, you
should immediately get the page without logging on. This is the Windows
Authentication portion doing it in IIS. Now if you are getting prompted from
the other DC, then something else is going on. But if you don't see a domain
cert, and I can't remember if that is normal or not since it should
automatically be enrolled using your GPO policy, it may be indicative of a
CA misonfiguration when you set it up.

What article or publication did you follow to set this all up?

Due to the many pieces of a CA, autoenrollment, etc, it would be quite a bit
of effort to go through what steps you took to install the CA and configure
the GPO, how you setup permissions on the template, and other specifics.
Maybe I can offer the following links. I hope they help.

As I mentioned earlier, RPC errors such as this means there is a
communication block or DNS lookup issue. I assume DNS has the DCs listed, so
I think tehre is a block going on elsewhere.

I forgot to add, the RPC Unavailable error will be part of the issue. You
said you disabled the firewall and allowed all ports, correct?

As for not being able to connect by https:// (with the 's'), that means you
never created or added an SSL cert in IIS.

I already saw this error, but the problem was related with cached
credentials on the requester... Can you check that please?

Good point. I forgot. :-)

Possibly run in a cmd prompt to check what credentials are stored:
Control keymgr.dll

However, I don't think it's in there. Maybe clear and restart IE?

In fact, I saw my user in the Credential manager! I remove it and restart
IE.... without success! I always need to enter my credential!

To be honest, I think that when I do a dcpromo like another server something
go wrong!

I'll try to depromate my dc, remove my dns server reboot it and do again a
dcpromo.

You've been wrestling with this for over two weeks now. Have you possibly
considered calling Microsoft PSS for assistance to get this resolved? A
single call and they can resolve everything associated with this issue in
one ticket. Just make sure you state everything in the ticket so they all
get resolved.
