Question : SRV records for _ldap._tcp.dc.Msdcs
|
|
I have run dcdiag and netdiag commands, everything seems fine except its skipping the trust relationship, which i think should be fine, correct me if i am wrong, but when i tried the client computer(winxp) to connect to the domain which is ec3global.local it gave me an error.I am pasting the error below;
The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain EC3GLOBAL.LOCAL:
The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.EC3GLOBAL.LOCAL
Common causes of this error include the following:
- The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS.
- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:
EC3GLOBAL.LOCAL
LOCAL
. (the root zone)
Does the last line shows that i have "." root zone, if yes then how could i find it and delete it, and if its not the problem then why clients are not able to connect to the server.
Under DNS console if i will expand the forward lookup zone then i can see ec3global.local folder and if i will expand that i can see _msdc, _sites, _tcp, _udp, DomainDNSZones, ForestDnsZones folders and there are 3 notepad files with the name "same as parent" and one file with ec3(which is the name of the server).
we have a website as well which is ec3global.com, now i didnt used that name because i was thinking to separarte out the internet and local environment, thats why i have named my server ec3global.local, we are going to have exchange as well on different server, so is it practical to name the server ec3global.com or leave it as ec3global.local. i am pasting the result of dcdiag and netdiag below.

Answer : SRV records for _ldap._tcp.dc.Msdcs
|
|
Ok, the first thing we need to double-check is the _ldap record.
You stated this:
"Thanks again, Netman, i have checked the service location tab under _Idap entry, and it says ec3global.ec3global.local. <- so thats right..."
If you note that you referred to the record as "ec3global.ec3global.local" which would be incorrect. It needs to be "ec3.ec3global.local".
With respect to Office, you can copy the contents of the Office CD to a share on this server with a structure similar to the following:
Installs
|__Office
Share Installs as "Installs$" and give Authenticated Users - Full Control.
On the Security of the Installs folder itself give SYSTEM and Administrators - Full Control and Authenticated Users - Read and Execute.
Create a software deployment package on a new GPO linked above the workstations, Assign it to the computer and use the UNC path to the package as the path - \\3c3\Installs$\Office\pro11.msi.
If you need more help on the Office stuff, open another question in the correct forum and we'll be glad to help.
