Hi there,

I have a problem with my domain controllers.

I have two, dep-s-dc(Win 2k3 Ent) and dep-s-004(Win 2k8 Ent)

dep-s-dc was our main server when the company started out and as such hosted
nearly everything, DNS, DHCP, Exchange, AD and DC

Over time we have got bigger and bought more servers. I installed dep-s-004
as a domain secondary controller. recently we have had problems with dep-s-dc
and it was looking bad so I moved the FSMO roles to dep-s-004 making this the
primary. All roles were transfered without problems.

I have now noticed however that new client when logging on take an age to
populate the domain list. Also group policy has stopped working. When you
click on a policy you get the following message "The network name cannot be
found". You get this message on dep-s-dc and dep-s-004. There are also errors
relating to NTfrs in the event logs on both machines.

I have done a lot of research and can't seem to pinpoint the error.

Replication does seem to be working. If I create an account on dep-s-004 and
check dep-s-dc it appears. ping and nslookup are ok between the two servers.

It just seems to be the sysvol and netlogon that are not being replicated.
they are on dep-s-dc but not on dep-s-004

How can I solve this?

Hello cw,

Check out this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315457

Also run diagnostics tools against all DC's, install them from the support
tools folder on the installation disk, dcdiag /v, netdiag /v and repadmin
/showreps if you have errors post the complete output here, even it is a
huge amount. Split in into more postings.

Best regards

Hello

i would like you to run dcdiag and netdiag on both servers. to check
replication please run repadmin /showreps >rep.txt. also can you please tell
which event id in ntfrs logs you are seeing. is it only 13508 or do you see
13509 as well.

Thanks

Hi,

thanks for the replies.

Here are the errors I get on each server

dep-s-dc: 13568, 13512, 13501
dep-s-004: 13508, I do not get the 13509 after the 13508

This is the output form the repadmin /showreps >rep.txt

Description:
The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from
DEP-S-DC to DEP-S-004 for c:\windows\sysvol\domain using the DNS name
dep-s-dc.depoel.local. FRS will keep retrying.
Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning.

[1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name dep-s-dc.depoel.local from
this computer.
[2] FRS is not running on dep-s-dc.depoel.local.
[3] The topology information in the Active Directory Domain Services for
this replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers.

This event log message will appear once per connection, After the problem
is fixed you will see another event log message indicating that the

Event Source: NtFrs
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13568
Date: 13/06/2008
Time: 13:17:26
User: N/A
Computer: DEP-S-DC
Description:
The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN
SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.

Replica set name is : "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)"
Replica root path is : "c:\windows\sysvol\domain"
Replica root volume is : "\\.\C:"
A Replica set hits JRNL_WRAP_ERROR when the record that it is trying to
read from the NTFS USN journal is not found. This can occur because of one
of the following reasons.

[1] Volume "\\.\C:" has been formatted.
[2] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been deleted.
[3] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been truncated. Chkdsk can
truncate the journal if it finds corrupt entries at the end of the journal.
[4] File Replication Service was not running on this computer for a long
time.
[5] File Replication Service could not keep up with the rate of Disk IO
activity on "\\.\C:".
Setting the "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" registry parameter to 1
will cause the following recovery steps to be taken to automatically recover
from this error state.
[1] At the first poll, which will occur in 5 minutes, this computer will be
deleted from the replica set. If you do not want to wait 5 minutes, then run
"net stop ntfrs" followed by "net start ntfrs" to restart the File
Replication Service.
[2] At the poll following the deletion this computer will be re-added to
the replica set. The re-addition will trigger a full tree sync for the
replica set.

WARNING: During the recovery process data in the replica tree may be
unavailable. You should reset the registry parameter described above to 0 to
prevent automatic recovery from making the data unexpectedly unavailable if
this error condition occurs again.

To change this registry parameter, run regedit.

Click on Start, Run and type regedit.

Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Click down the key path:
"System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters"
Double click on the value name
"Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore"
and update the value.

If the value name is not present you may add it with the New->DWORD Value
function under the Edit Menu item. Type the value name exactly as shown above.

The only thing I haven't tried is the reg key for the JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.

[1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name dep-s-dc.depoel.local from
this computer.

DNS shows no errors and ping and nslookup both show correct results from
both machines

[2] FRS is not running on dep-s-dc.depoel.local.

FRS is running on both machines

[3] The topology information in the Active Directory Domain Services for
this replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers.

I have done manual replication which states it has been successful. There is
only about 15MB to sync.

[1] Volume "\\.\C:" has been formatted.

Not true

[2] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been deleted.
[3] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been truncated.

I am not sure what where this is located, but nothing has been deleted

I have tried many Microsoft articles to try and sort this but so far I am
drawing a blank

Hello cw,

Even it is a big output, please post the dcdiag /v from both servers here,
use more then one if it not fit in one posting and label them 1,2.....

At the beginning you stated about problem, did you restore something on the
DC's?

Hi Meinolf,

I have split it into 3 parts. This is part 1, 2 is the results of dcdiag /v
from dep-s-004, 3 is the results from dcdiag /v from dep-s-dc

I didn't restore anything on the DC's. I switched the FSMO roles from
dep-s-dc to dep-s-004 and I noticed that the SYSVOL and NETLOGON folder are
not replicated. To be honest it looks like they never were.

From the tests below I think this will be the problem on dep-s-004

An Warning Event occurred. EventID: 0x800034C4

Hello cw,

See this one, even it states for 2000:

I have been through all the tests and everything looks ok apart from on one
test.

repadmin /showreps %upstreamcomputer%
repadmin /showreps %downstreamcomputer%

fails on both servers with the following error.

[d:\nt\ds\ds\src\util\repadmin\repbind.c, 154] LDAP error 81 (Server Down)
Win32 Err 58.

Hello cw,

Please check the system time:
run on the problem DC:

net time \\ComputerName_Of_Authoritative_Time_Server /set /y
net stop ntfrs
net start ntfrs

Additional check permissions:
Corrupted permissions on the Sysvol share or any of the objects below it
can cause this error. The ACL should include full access for Administrators,
Creator/Owner and system, read for server operators and authenticated users.
The ownership on these folders and files may also become corrupt and have
to be reset to Administrators.

Then go on here for the event id's:

Hi Meinolf,

completed the net time but nothing changed. All permissions are correct and
owners are correct for sysvol.

I have been through the guide mentioned, thats the first place I originally
started.

The section I focused on was "Troubleshooting FRS Events 13508 without FRS
Event 13509" as this is the event I get most.

I have gone though everything and everything has passed. The only thing I
need to check is if its being blocked by a firewall. is there a way to test
this?

dep-s-004 has windows firewall running but has "File Replication" as an
exception. I am assuming this is ntfrs. When I open windows firewall on
dep-s-dc I get the following "Windows Firewall cannot run because another
program or service is running that might use the network address translation
componant (Ipnat.sys)". I am assuming it is not blocking anything.

Does ntfrs use port 389??

Hi Meinolf,

I am currently looking into the possibility that it maybe the firewall on
dep-s-dc. The problem is I can't configure it as it is an RRAS server as
well. So I am going to get another RRAS server up and running and disable it
on dep-s-dc. Then configure the firewall and hopefully everything will work.

I will keep you posted.

Thanks for all the help you have been great support.
