How to confirm upgraded A/D server is primary controller
I have created a new MS Server 2022 A/D server to replace the MS Server 2012 A/D. I want to ensure the new server is in control of all the features/functions of the old one. The new server has all the roles as the old one. The netdom query shows the new server in all areas: PS C:\Windows\system32> netdom query fsmo Schema master SVR01.mrc.net Domain naming master SVR01.mrc.net PDC SVR01.mrc.net RID pool manager SVR01.mrc.net Infrastructure master SVRV01.mrc.net The command completed successfully. Replication is in working as I can create a user on the new server and see it replicate to the old server as well as AAD. When the server restarts, I see these eventIDs 2092 Microsoft-Windows-ActiveDirectory_DomainService User Action: This server is the owner of the following FSMO role, but does not consider it valid. For the partition which contains the FSMO, this server has not replicated successfully with any of its partners since this server has been restarted. Replication errors are preventing validation of this role. Operations which require contacting a FSMO operation master will fail until this condition is corrected. FSMO Role: DC=src,DC=net 4013 Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Server-Service The DNS server is waiting for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to signal that the initial synchronization of the directory has been completed. The DNS server service cannot start until the initial synchronization is complete because critical DNS data might not yet be replicated onto this domain controller. If events in the AD DS event log indicate that there is a problem with DNS name resolution, consider adding the IP address of another DNS server for this domain to the DNS server list in the Internet Protocol properties of this computer. This event will be logged every two minutes until AD DS has signaled that the initial synchronization has successfully completed. 1202 ADWS This computer is now hosting the specified directory instance, but Active Directory Web Services could not service it. Active Directory Web Services will retry this operation periodically. Directory instance: NTDS Directory instance LDAP port: 389 Directory instance SSL port: 636 How are these corrected? When done, I will only need 1 A/D server in my network and that will be the new MS Server 2022. What other things should I check to make sure the new A/D server is fully in control before I remove the roles from the old server, decommission it and elevate the functional level?526Views0likes2CommentsProblems with DNS Replication after upgrade
I created a new A/D Server 2022 to replace my A/D Server 2012. The install completed and the FSMO roles transferred fine. However, I cannot manage the A/D GPO. In looking at the logs, it appears that DNS cannot replicate. Password hash synchronization failed for domain: mrc.net, domain controller hostname: MIDSRVR01.mrc.net, domain controller IP address: 172.16.1.43. Details: Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.SynchronizationManagerException: Unable to open connection to domain: mrc.net. Error: There was an error establishing a connection to the directory replication service. Domain controller hostname: MIDSRVR01.mrc.net, domain controller IP address: 192.168.99.12 ---> Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.DirectoryReplicationServices.DrsCommunicationException: There was an error establishing a connection to the directory replication service. Domain controller hostname: MIDSRVR01.mrc.net, domain controller IP address: 192.168.99.12 ---> Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.DirectoryReplicationServices.DrsException: There was an error creating the connection context. ---> Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.DirectoryReplicationServices.DrsCommunicationException: RPC Error 1722 : The RPC server is unavailable. Error creating the RPC binding handle The original A/D Server 2012 is multi-honed and it appears DNS is trying to use an IP Address on a private segment 192.168.99.12 which isn't available to the new Server. The new server is on segment 172.16.1.x. If I look at DNS, the server IP addresses appears in this order. How an I make the 172.16.1.43 the primary address? How can I change the IP address to point to the other segment?Solved715Views0likes2CommentsRe: Cannot transfer schema using NTDSUTIL
Thanks I was able to get it resolved. For some reason, all transfers but the Schema had to be done on the source system. To do the schema, there were 2 items. The Admin account did not have Schema Admin permissions which needed to be added. Then the schema transfer had to be performed on the target. Not sure why and only have 1 A/D server so not trying to troubleshoot anymore. Thank1.4KViews1like1CommentCannot transfer schema using NTDSUTIL
When trying to transfer operational control to a new A/D server, I tried to use the GUI but it would not show the new A/D. I found a note which indicated to use NTDSUTIL to perform the task. When issueing the commands: roles connections connect to server dc1 - put the target DC server’s name here quit transfer infrastructure master transfer naming master transfer pdc transfer rid master transfer schema master quit quit Everything appears to be fine, however, when I issue the netdom query fsmo, all of the roles refer to the new server, but the Schema Master still points to the existing A/D server. I am part of the schema admin group but I don't know what else to do except maybe to use the Seize option which appears to be a last resort. What other settings should I look for?Solved2.1KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Suggestions to print tab information from a form
arnel_gp Thanks for your suggestion. All of the information in the tab is contained in a single table. I have tried to create the report manually by overlapping each tab in a continuous manner however, I cannot get more than 4 tabs on a page. In the existing application, the report just skips to the new page and continues to print. I can't find a way to insert the page break without having grouping involved. Is there a way to create a fixed page break1KViews0likes4CommentsMS Outlook 365 issuing error 554 6.6.6.0 message
I have 2 laptops running Outlook 365 configured the exact way as best as I can tell. Both laptops have an account for Exchange Online with a work account and an IMAP account for my personal account. On the old laptop, I can successfully send an email from the IMAP account to the EOL account without issues. On the new laptop, I can send an email from EOL to IMAP and reply successfully, however if I try to send an email from IMAP to EOL, the message is immediately rejected with 554. 6.6.6.0 Error sending message for delivery I found some references to the error which indicate to change my password on the IMAP account which I have done without success. How can I find the point of rejection given that I'm successfully able to send from the old laptop. Any ideas are appreciated.1.5KViews0likes0CommentsSuggestions to print tab information from a form
I have created a form which has 8 tabs in the body. I need to be able to print the form and all of the information on each tab. I have tried to create a report from the form which only prints the selected tab. What is the best method to select a and print all of the associate information on each tab?1.2KViews0likes7CommentsHow can I export Outlook 365 Global Address List
What are the options to export the Global Address List. I have followed the export examples several times selecting the file type, the GAL and the resulting CSV file is empty. I can export my contacts, however, they do not include many recent emails accounts which were corresponded to.1.2KViews0likes0Comments
