Hi
We have a domain with 4 dc's. 3 are 08 and 1 is 03. a while ago i transferred all the fsmo roles from the 03 server to one of 08 servers without any errors. recently without cause several functions that depend on machines and servers being able to locate the pdc emulator stopped working. The dfs structure cant be edited, fsmo roles cant be transferred to a dr site etc...
dcdiag with all the comprehensive checks came up with this error:
Missing SRV record at DNS server [ip of dc]:
_ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.local.test
[Error details: 9003 (Type: Win32 - Description: DNS name does not exist.)]
So, I checked on the current pdc and yes the pdc srv record is missing. later on i thought to check the old pdc emulator and for some reason it still has an srv registration, although its pointing to the new pdc emulator (the 08 server). Could this be the cause and if it is how do I sort this out. I tried dcdiag /fix without any luck. Also tried ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns. After that I restarted the netlogon service, which still did nothing. In the event viewer i did notice that the netlogon event id 5781.
What could i do next?
