I have a domain xyz.com Whenever I add a new server to the domain the new servers dns record is not showing up automatically. Each servers fqdn has the domain abc.com in its name. I think that is the issue. I have looked on the dcs and the hosts and I
cannot find any sort of log that is telling me why this is not getting added. Can someone point me in the right direction here?

DFSRMIG with RODC's
I have a domain with domain controllers and 3 RODC's that are Riverbed servers. I want to set the migration state to Eliminate (3) but the /GetMigrationstate is saying "Migrations has not reached a consistent state on all domain controllers...." The only DC's that are listed are the Riverbed devices which show up as RODC's. All other domains have reached consistent state. I am on Windows 2008 R2 AD. Can I go ahead and go to Eliminated state anyway?

Microsoft Support for attributes or schema customizations
Hi everyone,
although the Microsoft has severals KBs about add attributes manually and schema extensions on Active Directory, the mosts administrators knows that isn't a good practice and has a big chances to create problems in future updates.
I don't finding on web an oficial documentation that explain the dangers and risks of this modifications represent or a recomendation that say: "don't do this". Or a documentation describing if Official MS Support support this.
Anyone has a similar document about that?
Tks.

LAPS - Extended Rights
We are looking to implement LAPS in our environment. However, during testing we notice when using powershell to check for extended right holders on an OU: Find-AdmPwdExtendedRights -identity:"OU=Test,DC=Test,DC=COM" | format-table extendedRightHolders
The extended right holders display users/groups which are not present on the same OU via ADSIEDIT. For example, if I:
1. Launch ADSIEDIT
2. Right click on TEST OU
3. Go to properties
4. Go to security
5. Go to Advance
I don't see the user/groups listed which Powershell listed. We wan't to make sure only Domain Admins has access to view the LAPS password. Any idea what I'm missing? Could it be the users/group are present in child objects under TEST OU?

The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.
Hello all,
We have one forest multi child domain environment at different sites.
Domain function level is 2008
I am getting these events on one of my domain controllers from one of my child domain.
Just for the information, i am only having an issue during new group policy creation, when try to click on policy "Settings" on the domain controller at remote site "The System Cannot find the file specified" Popup occurs. Not sure if below event is relevant to this. Need support on this...
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.

Accounts get AD locked constantly
Hello everyone, recently we have started to have users who get constantly locked out from their computer.
The time varies from minutes to hours, but most of the times when I get to work their accounts are locked out.
I have deleted all temp files from their computers / no phone links with the accounts / credentials removed / no unwanted software.
Any ideas where this could be related?

Event ID 8026
Yesterday we restarted our Primary domain Controller(PDC) and Exchange Server 2003 which is also our secondary domain Controller(SDC). Now we are getting error LDAP Bind was unsuccessful on directory mail.domain.com for distinguished name". Directory returned :[0x52] Local Error.
also we noticed if we add user from the Primary domain it will not be synchronized to our exchange (SDC). But from the Exchange (SDC) it will be synchronized.
I dont if this is also related but now some of our staff which is connected via exchange encounter some error in their outlook like exchange server is offline although i can ping both the FQDN of the domain and exchange from the client.
Now the event viewer of exchange is full of this error.
I know we are still using the old version of exchange since it is stable to our environment. But maybe soon we are planning to upgrade. for now we just want to solve this issue. Hope anybody from the forum could support us.
PS: I posted this issue in the exchange 2003 and i got one reply that the said issue is related to DC not exchange.
PDC: Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
SDC: Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 /Exchange 2003

Configure DNS for (A) Records
Greetings,
Trust you are doing well,
I am having a challenge here with redirecting HTTP and HTTPS requests. My domain name is equivalent to my website site - for example my domain isabc.com so my website as well www.abc.com. Before, my website didn't use HTTPS, so I just added an (A) record with valuewww which points to my website IP address, but now since HTTPS was activated, thewww part is removed from URL and I am not able to reach my website.
I was thinking to create another (A) record which has no value but the IP of my website, but I don't think it is right as it may also redirect some requests which supposed to go from end-user to the domain controller and it might end up badly because the requests might be redirected to the website.

During past x amount of hours 37 connections to this domain controller?
Hey friends,
I am trying to troubleshoot the cause of one of my domain controllers (vmware virtual server servers) shutting down last night and while looking through the System log in the event viewer I spotted something that I am trying to determine how concerned I should be about it. The first sentence concerns me the most because I am not sure if it's an issue or not. So at that location we do have users from other office go there and log in so they should be hitting that domain controller any way.
Also, in Computer Management, Under shared folders I looked at the "sessions" folder and can see a mix of computer authenticated that are local to that site and also some from other other sites, I am thinking those are visitors to the office?
Below is from the System log in the even viewer.
During the past 4.21 hours there have been 60 connections to this Domain Controller from client machines whose IP addresses don't map to any of the existing sites in the enterprise. Those clients, therefore, have undefined sites and may connect to any Domain Controller including those that are in far distant locations from the clients. A client's site is determined by the mapping of its subnet to one of the existing sites. To move the above clients to one of the sites, please consider creating subnet object(s) covering the above IP addresses with mapping to one of the existing sites. The names and IP addresses of the clients in question have been logged on this computer in the following log file '%SystemRoot%\debug\netlogon.log' and, potentially, in the log file '%SystemRoot%\debug\netlogon.bak' created if the former log becomes full. The log(s) may contain additional unrelated debugging information. To filter out the needed information, please search for lines which contain text 'NO_CLIENT_SITE:'. The first word after this string is the client name and the second word is the client IP address. The maximum size of the log(s) is controlled by the following registry DWORD value 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\LogFileMaxSize'; the default is 20000000 bytes. The current maximum size is 20000000 bytes. To set a different maximum size, create the above registry value and set the desired maximum size in bytes.

GPO Polices?
Hi All,
I am a little confused as to what polices are actually kicking in on my newly built machine on our domain.
We have a number of GPO Computer Policies that are saying have been applied. Two of these policies are Default domain policies. One is at the TOP level of the tree structure, is Not Enforced but Link Enabled. Security Filtering is applied to Authenticated Users.
Two is at the OU Level of the tree structure, is Not Enforced but Link Enabled. Security Filtering is applied to Authenticated Users.
when I carry out a gpresult /r I see both of these as being Applied Group Policy Objects. Does that mean that they are both being applied? they don't have identical policies as there are some differences. I am getting confused as to which one is actually used.
Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

When attempting to install the Active Directory Management Gateway service, the installation fails with the error "the update does not apply to your system".
To whom it may concern,
I'm trying to get the Active Directory Web Services installed in my Windows Server 2008 box. The update is Windows6.0-KB968934-x64, and I keep getting the error message stated in the title. After researching, it seems that a next rollup is needed, but I can't find it. It seems that maybe I need to ask the Micorsoft people directly. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I know updating to a newer version of Windows will probably solve this problem, but I'm not ready to do so yet.

Backed Up Server 2012r2 Domain Controller VM - Keeps loading on Please Wait after network setup (IP address/Subnet Mask/DNS)
Hi IT Experts,
I need help. Here's the background:
Half yearly i will bootup a backup image of Server 2012r2 Domain Controller (with DNS, DHCP, Print Server, File Server, Folder Redirection) to test whether it is working perfectly. If you need to know, i am using ShadowProtect to backup incrementally everyday and when i restore the image, the RPO will be the night before. As usual, i will bootup the virtual server with the network disabled. No problem to login.
After enable the network and configure the ip address, subnet mask, gateway and dns (127.0.0.1), and rebooting the server, it will keep loading on "Please Wait". I have waited for 1 hour, but it remains the same. So I turn it off and disabled the network. Turn it on again, i was able to login again.
Can anyone guide me what i can do to resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

Azure ASR AD - The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed
Hi there
This is an issue in the Azure ASR environment where is the DC is hosted on a windows server in Azure.
We have a windows server which is added to a DC in North Europe. This VM is replicated and we did a failover to West Europe ( I think Azure just moves the disk over and creates the VM)
I'm able to login as a local admin to the server but I'm unable to add this server to the new DC in the west europe region.
Here are the steps we have tried
1) I removed the VM from the domain and added to a work group. Then I tried to rdp and I got this error - "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed" I'm unable to login to the server even as a local admin,
for ex .\ansible and the password, it says incorrect details ( Have tried 10 times )
2) Added the IP of the DC server in west Europe to the NIC and restarted the VM, same error - "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed"
Is there anything I can try ?
