Hi All,
We've some PCs out at a remote site, where we've just installed a Domain Controller, and a few have shown some AD-related issues. We find that adding/removing PCs to the domain is an issue. I have to put ABC.local in as the domain when adding. But here in the main site, I don't have to do that. WINS and DNS are installed and running. Most of my DCs are 2008 R2, but I do have 2 older 2003 DCs.
As part of diagnosing, I've run a dcdiag /test:DNS, which has given an error similar to the below (edited slightly for posting), which is what I'm checking into here.
Heres my issue: We've only ever had one domain, and if I lookup the dns zone for domains._msdcs.ABC.local, there is a set of correct sub-records in there, but the SID (I think this is the Domain SID right ?) begins with ae248820-xxxx-xxxx..... you can see that DCDIAG thinks it should be something else.
Inside the live records, I can see _ldap SRV ae248820 records for each domain controller, correctly. I've no idea where this other SID is coming from.
So: Is this the domain SID? How do I verify the correct SID? and... what do I do about it ?
