Guest Mike Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Hello guys, I have the following problem: 2 Windows 2003 Domain Controllers(to keep it simple DC 1 and DC 2). Each DC is a DFS server with replication between. Because replication was very slow, we decided to upgrade both DC's to Windows 2003 R2, so we could use DFRs instead of FRs. DC 1: Windows Server 2003 -> in place upgrade to Windows Server 2003 R2. DC 2: Windows Server 2003 OEM -> we installed a new domain controller DC 3 with Windows Server 2003 R2 and removed DC 2. So current environment: DC 1: Windows Server 2003 R2 DC 3: Windows Server 2003 R2 (both SP2) We installed DFS on DC 1 and DC 3. Everything went fine until we started to replicate the DFS Folders. DC 3 seems to work fine (We don't receive any errors in the event viewer) Unfortunatly, DC 1 logs an error with event id 4004: The DFS Replication service stopped replication on the replicated folder ... So we have now 3 folders with data on DC 3 but the data is not replicated to DC 1. We stopped the DFS replication to avoid all the 4004 errors being logged. Any ideas? Remark: When upgrading DC 1 to Windows Server 2003 R2, we got the next problem after the reboot. Windows File protection: Event id: 64005 System protected file <file path> was replace with another version. -> winsevnt.dll We didn't replace the file because R2 should be the newest and correct version, no? Thx in advance! Mike
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Re: DFS Upgrade Hello Mike, Event ID 4004 points to a DNS issue, so please describe your DNS setup and also post an unedited ipconfig /all from both machines. Was the removed machine also FSMO roles holder and did you move then before demoting the roles to another DC?

Guest Mike Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Re: DFS Upgrade hello Meinolf, I'm apoligize for the delay. To answer your questions: We haven't yet removed DC2. We only removed DFS on that server. All the FSMO roles are located on DC 1. DC 1: Host Name. . . . . . . . . : nts01 IP Address . . . . . . . . : 192.168.150.1 Subnet Mask. . . . . . . . : 255.255.252.0 Default Gateway. . . . . . : 192.168.151.2 Primary WINS Server. . . . : 192.168.150.59 Secondary WINS Server. . . : 192.168.150.1 Dns Servers. . . . . . . . : 192.168.150.1 192.168.150.59 DC 2: Host Name. . . . . . . . . : NTS59 IP Address . . . . . . . . : 192.168.150.59 Subnet Mask. . . . . . . . : 255.255.252.0 Default Gateway. . . . . . : 192.168.151.2 Primary WINS Server. . . . : 192.168.150.59 Secondary WINS Server. . . : 192.168.150.1 Dns Servers. . . . . . . . : 192.168.150.59 192.168.150.1 DNS is quite simple: ------------------- We have 2 forward lookup zones: ------------------------------- andriestielt.be: _mdsdcs _sites _tcp _udp DomainDnsZones ForestDnsZones sintandriestielt.be Reverse lookup zone: ------------------- 192.168.x.x Subnet 148 149 150 151 200 21 PS: Netdiag passed all the tests on both servers. kind regards, Mike Tytgat "Meinolf Weber" wrote: > Hello Mike, > > Event ID 4004 points to a DNS issue, so please describe your DNS setup and > also post an unedited ipconfig /all from both machines.
