I had a problem adding the second domain controller into an existing domain. It was strange, because it was a small environment with only one DC. However, after a year, the customer decided to add a second DC. Until here, I followed a normal procedure: I installed the second server and promote it to DC. Everything was OK, without any error and from security reasons I just run\u00a0Active Directory Replication Status Tool<\/a>. There were no errors, but in dcdiag I saw some strange errors like there is no SYSVOL share<\/strong>. When I opened Explorer and typed in the address \\\\localhost, I realized that all shares were really missing.<\/span>
\nWhat causes this situation? How to find the solution? After a couple of solutions I tried and after looking into Event viewer, I realized that I had a problem with DFS replication. In\u00a0Microsoft KB article<\/a>, I find how to test DFS replication for all DC\u2019s:<\/span>
\nFor \/f %i IN (‘dsquery server -o rdn’) do @echo %i && @wmic \/node:”%i” \/namespace:\\\\root\\microsoftdfs path dfsrreplicatedfolderinfo WHERE replicatedfoldername=’SYSVOL share’ get replicationgroupname,replicatedfoldername,state<\/span>
\nThe returned state values has to be:<\/span>
\n0 = Uninitialized<\/span>
\n1 = Initialized<\/span>
\n2 = Initial Sync<\/span>
\n3 = Auto Recovery<\/span>
\n4 = Normal<\/span>
\n5 = In Error<\/span>
\nBut my first DC returns a strange value: \u201cNo Instance(s) Available<\/strong>.\u201d and the same value was reported locally form that DC. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Output\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At this point I realized that I have some problems on the old DC and I have to review the Event viewer of DFS Replication on that computer. It was not difficult to find the event 2212 (Dirty shutdown) and form here it was easy to solve the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Event<\/a><\/p>\n

You have just to reactivate the replication with the command (run from administrative shell):<\/span>
\nwmic \/namespace:\\\\root\\microsoftdfs path dfsrVolumeConfig where volumeGuid=”GUID-NUMBER” call ResumeReplication<\/span>
\nWhere GUID-NUMBER is the GUID reported in Error (red boxed on picture 2). The Output should be something like this screen:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"wmic<\/a><\/p>\n

The last thing you have to do is to search in the Event viewer the event 2214. This will confirm that the replication is active.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Event<\/a><\/p>\n

At this point, you can go to the second controller and you will see that all shares are present and replicated.<\/span>.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
