Hello Experts,
I am seeking your expert advice here, because right now undergoing with a strange issue in one of the child domain in the production forest.
The problem is when I try to search an object ( user / computer usually ) by selecting Find in “Entire directory”, I do get the result of the objects in Entire forest, but in the same result when I click properties of those objects , nothing showing except security tab.
But If I manually find the searched user / computer in the created OU and right click, I can see all tabs and the problem only choosing “Right click domain -- > Find “
Example: If I search my name in child (problematic) domain, I get results in 5 domains (which believes GC search is working on child Domain DC) , but the strange thing is none of the default tabs are showing at this time, but if I drill down to correct OU path and right click my account name, I can see all tab.
There are no issues on other 4 domains and "Entire Directory" Findings on those DC's are showing all required tabs.
I first thought that it might be some inconsistency with any DLL (Windows\system32) files on problem DC's, but the issue seems to appear on other DC’s in same Domain frequently and some time resolve its own. So being the issue is intermittent I don't think this is something related with DLL files.
All DC’s are Windows Server 2008 R2 and repadmin /showreps shows no errors and recent replication completed successfully.
I did repadmin /rebuildgc as well, but seem no luck.
I really confused what and where to be checked further since not sure what is causing the issue (ANY Directory partition issues ?) , at the Same time wondering how come problem DC manage to get objects details ( My name ) in other 4 domains.
Please Note: I don’t have issues creating / deleting AD objects on all DC’s in problematic domain.<o:p></o:p>
I will be much obliged to your expert view since this is considered as an showstopper sooner in our environment.<o:p></o:p>
