Domain Controller got problem!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Dear all,

 

I've got problem with my domain controller server. It always restart

and sometimes it has got bule screen and message "system dump with

physical memory". I reboot it and see the Event Viewer the it says

"The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0." "A

parity error was detected on \Device\Ide\IdePort2." and "The device,

\Device\Harddisk1, has a bad block."

 

I am afraid if this server will crash down. I would like to know if

there is other solutions about it or how can promote another server to

also be a domain controller then if one fails the other takes over.

 

Could you please help me about this problem?

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

It's urgent for me, please help.

 

Thanks in advance,

What operating system version? If you have another server, what operating

system is it? If the same, you can promote it using dcpromo.exe. No need to

remind anyone that the rule of thumb is to have a minimum of two DCs.

 

How do I promote a server to a domain controller?

Dear Ace,

 

Answer your question, I have different kinds of version including MS.

2K3 (SP1) Standard Edition "Domain Controller", MS. 2K3 (SP1)

Enterprise Edition, MS. 2K3 Enterprise Edition, MS. 2K3 (SP2)

Enterprise Edition and MS. 2K3 R2 (SP1) Standard Edition.

 

So, will I can still use your steps of promoting a server to Domain

Controller?

 

Please help me again with this.

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi Susan,

 

Yes, you can use any one of them. You can actually use 2000, but rather

2003, where I see you have no problem with. Select the server that has the

least amount of apps and services running on as your new domain controller.

Follow the steps in the article.

 

When you are done, post an ipconfig /all of both DCs and a sample client

machine. This way we can help to ensure your configuration is correct.

Hi Ace,

 

Again, thanks for your help. I would like to know exactly what is

happening with my Domain Controller Server that is always restart and

has got blue screen with the message at the end "Begining dump with

Physicall Memory". I would like to check it and make sure about that

cause.

 

How can I do if I do not use Event Viwer? Are there other way can I

check the cause of the problem?

 

Thanks in advance

Do you see an error on the blue screen? Try to write it down. It will look

like:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Windows_XP_BSOD.png

 

We need the part that says:

*** STOP: 0x000000. etc....

*** somedriver.sys - etc

 

 

Reboots can be caused by a number of things. Viruses, LSA errors, or

hardware errors.

Hi Ace,

 

I just mentioned the blue screen message. Here it is the latest blue

screen I've seen:

 

STOP : c000021a {Fatal System Error}

 

The Windows subsystem system process terminated unexpectedly with

status of 0xC0000006 (0x75a90a63, 0x0068Fbdc)

 

Beginning dump of physical memory

 

 

Thanks so much for your helpful.

Thanks. That is much more helpful.v I did some searching for "STOP :

c000021a {Fatal System Error}" and here is what I found:

 

Apparently there is a compromised or corrupt necessary Windows file

(winlogon, userinit, etc) that is required to run. It could be caused by a

hardware failure as well as software. A virus could have caused it to alter

the MBR (Master Boot Record). So there are a number of things that can cause

this.

 

Is an antivirus installed? Antispyware? Any possible way to disable startup

or scanning if you get it up and running?

 

Bug Check 0xC000021A: STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms797159.aspx

 

Do you have GoBack installed? If so, read this:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316503&sd=RMVP

 

This is an interesting thread about this error. Read the part about the

debug procedure:

http://forums.techguy.org/malware-removal-hijackthis-logs/511581-stop-c000021a-fatal-system-error.html

 

What errors are in the Event Log?

Hi Ace,

 

Thanks so much for your help. Now, my DC server is ok. I think it's

because of Hardware problem. I shut it down and clean it. And it work

properly. But I also have done with promote DC and second DHCP, still

second DNS not yet done. Actually, I think it might have some

difficulties that I would like some advice from you again because I

never do it before.

 

I do that in order to avoid if my DC got problem again.

 

Thanks again.

Hi Susan,

 

Glad to hear the machine is ok. For another DNS, just install DNS on the

domain controller and leave it alone. The zones should auto appear within 15

minutes.

 

Did you promote the machine to a DC again?

Hi Ace,

 

Now, I disconnect it just for a while. Because My first DC is working

properly now. And there is an other PC use its DHCP. That is cause of

we can not remote to that PC. But, I think now the problem can be

solve.

 

However, I thank you very much for your kindly help until the problem

has been solve.

 

Cheers,

I'm sorry, I may have lost track and not following. Did you say you promoted

the member server to a DC, then you disconnected it for awhile?

Hi Ace,

 

Actually Yes. Because now my First DC is working properly. And DHCP in

second DC Server made other user's PC take its DHCP (in Second DC).

So, I disconnect it for now. Then the problem of those user's PC is

working properly.

 

 

Thanks

Susan,

 

You CANNOT simply disconnect a DC. If you don't want it, demote it to a

member server, but NEVER just disconnect it. It's references are still in

the AD database as well as in DNS and will always be there unless you

properly demote it. If a client were to logon, it may resolve that DC but

will not be able to contact it because it is down and may not be able to

logon. There are numerous other things that can happen. Look at the current

DC's event logs. I bet my paycheck there are replication errors. There are

also certain services it holds that are necessary for domain operations. You

can't simply unplug it like the NT4 days.

 

Either plug it back in or demote it, please.

 

Ace
