Troubleshooting Active Directory Replication Problems. Applies To Windows Server 2. Windows Server 2. R2, Windows Server 2. Active Directory replication problems can have several different sources. For example, Domain Name System DNS problems, networking issues, or security problems can all cause Active Directory replication to fail. The rest of this topic explains tools and a general methodology to fix Active Directory replication errors. For a hands on lab that demonstrates how to troubleshoot Active Directory replication problems, see Tech. Net Virtual Lab Troubleshooting Active Directory Replication Errors.

Inbound or outbound replication failure causes Active Directory objects that represent the replication topology, replication schedule, domain controllers, users, computers, passwords, security groups, group memberships, and Group Policy to be inconsistent between domain controllers. Directory inconsistency and replication failure cause either operational failures or inconsistent results, depending on the domain controller that is contacted for the operation, and can prevent the application of Group Policy and access control permissions. Active Directory Domain Services AD DS depends on network connectivity, name resolution, authentication and authorization, the directory database, the replication topology, and the replication engine. When the root cause of a replication problem is not immediately obvious, determining the cause among the many possible causes requires systematic elimination of probable causes. For a UI based tool to help monitor replication and diagnose errors, see Active Directory Replication Status Tool. There is also a hands on lab that demonstrates how to use Active Directory Replication Status and other tools to troubleshoot errors. For a comprehensive document that describes how you can use the Repadmin tool to troubleshoot Active Directory replication is available see Monitoring and Troubleshooting Active Directory Replication Using Repadmin. For information about how Active Directory replication works, see the following technical references Ideally, the red Error and yellow Warning events in the Directory Service event log suggest the specific constraint that is causing replication failure on the source or destination domain controller. If the event message suggests steps for a solution, try the steps that are described in the event. The Repadmin tool and other diagnostic tools also provide information that can help you resolve replication failures. For detailed information about using Repadmin for troubleshooting replication problems, see Monitoring and Troubleshooting Active Directory Replication Using Repadmin. Ruling out intentional disruptions or hardware failures. Sometimes replication errors occur because of intentional disruptions. For example, when you troubleshoot Active Directory replication problems, rule out intentional disconnections and hardware failures or upgrades first. Intentional disconnections. If replication errors are reported by a domain controller that is attempting replication with a domain controller that has been built in a staging site and is currently offline awaiting its deployment in the final production site a remote site, such as a branch office, you can account for those replication errors. To avoid separating a domain controller from the replication topology for extended periods, which causes continuous errors until the domain controller is reconnected, consider adding such computers initially as member servers and using the install from media IFM method to install Active Directory Domain Services AD DS. You can use the Ntdsutil command line tool to create installation media that you can store on removable media CD, DVD, or other media and ship to the destination site. Then, you can use the installation media to install AD DS on the domain controllers at the site, without the use of replication. Hardware failures or upgrades. If replication problems occur as a result of hardware failure for example, failure of a motherboard, disk subsystem, or hard drive, notify the server owner so that the hardware problem can be resolved. Periodic hardware upgrades can also cause domain controllers to be out of service. Ensure that your server owners have a good system of communicating such outages in advance. Firewall configuration. By default, Active Directory replication remote procedure calls RPCs occur dynamically over an available port through the RPC Endpoint Mapper RPCSS on port 1. Make sure that Windows Firewall with Advanced Security and other firewalls are configured properly to allow for replication. For information about specifying the port for Active Directory replication and port settings, see article 2. Microsoft Knowledge Base. For information about the ports that Active Directory replication uses, see Active Directory Replication Tools and Settings. For information about managing Active Directory replication over firewalls, see Active Directory Replication over Firewalls. Responding to failure of an outdated server running Windows 2. Server. If a domain controller running Windows 2. Server has failed for longer than the number of days in the tombstone lifetime, the solution is always the same Move the server from the corporate network to a private network. Either forcefully remove Active Directory or reinstall the operating system. Remove the server metadata from Active Directory so that the server object cannot be revived. You can use a script to clean up server metadata on most Windows operating systems. For information about using this script, see Remove Active Directory Domain Controller Metadata. By default, NTDS Settings objects that are deleted are revived automatically for a period of 1. Join an Additional Ubuntu DC to Samba. AD DC for Fail. Over Replication. This tutorial will show you how to add a second Samba. Ubuntu 1. 6. 0. 4 server, to the existing Samba AD DC forest in order to provide a degree of load balancingfailover for some crucial AD DC services, especially for services such as DNS and AD DC LDAP schema with SAM database. Requirements. Create an Active Directory Infrastructure with Samba. Ubuntu Part 1. This article is a Part 5 of Samba. AD DC series as follows Step 1 Initial Configuration for Samba. Setup. 1. Before you start to actually perform domain joining for the second DC, you need to take care of few initial settings. First, make sure the hostname of the system which will be integrated into Samba. AD DC contains a descriptive name. Assuming that the hostname of the first provisioned realm is called adc. DC with adc. 2 in order to provide a consistent naming scheme across your Domain Controllers. To change the system hostname you can issue the below command. Here add the hostname. Next, open local system resolution file and add an entry with the IP address witch points to the short name and FQDN of the main domain controller, as illustrated in the below screenshot. Through this tutorial, the primary DC name is adc. IP address. nano etchosts. Add the following line IPofmainDCFQDNofmainDC shortnameofmainDC. Set Hostname for Samba. AD DC3. On the next step, open etcnetworkinterfaces and assign a static IP address for your system as illustrated in the below screenshot. Pay attention to dns nameservers and dns search variables. These values should be configured to point back to the IP address of the primary Samba. AD DC and realm in order for DNS resolution to work correctly. Restart the network daemon in order to reflect changes. Verify etcresolv. DNS values from your network interface are updated to this file. Edit and replace with your custom IP settings auto ens. Restart network service and confirm changes. Configure DNS for Samba. ADThe dns search value will automatically append the domain name when you query a host by its short name will form the FQDN. In order to test if DNS resolution is working as expected, issue a series of ping commands against your domain short name, FQDN and realm as shown in the below screenshot. In all these cases Samba. AD DC DNS server should reply with the IP address of your main DC. Verify DNS Resolution for Samba. AD5. The final additional step that you need to take care off is time synchronization with your main Domain Controller. This can be accomplished by installing NTP client utility on your system by issuing the below command apt get install ntpdate. Assuming that you want to manually force time synchronization with samba. AD DC, run ntpdate command against the primary DC by issuing the following command. Time Synchronize with Samba. ADStep 2 Install Samba. Required Dependencies. In order to enroll Ubuntu 1. Samba. 4, Kerberos client and a few other important packages for later use from Ubuntu official repositories by issuing the below command apt get install samba krb. Install Samba. 4 in Ubuntu. During the installation you will need to provide Kerberos realm name. Write your domain name with upper cases and press Enter key to finish the installation process. Configure Kerberos Authentication for Samba. After the packages installation finishes, verify the settings by requesting a Kerberos ticket for a domain administrator using kinit command. Use klist command to list granted Kerberos ticket. DOMAIN. TLD. Verify Kerberos on Samba. Domain. Step 3 Join to Samba. AD DC as a Domain Controller. Before integrating your machine into Samba. DC, first make sure all Samba. Samba configuration file in order to start clean. While provisioning the domain controller, samba will create a new configuration file from scratch. In order to start the domain joining process, first start only samba ad dc daemon, after which you will run samba tool command to join the realm using an account with administrative privileges on your domain.

Replace dns forwarder IP address with your own DNS forwarder IP. Samba will forward all DNS resolution queries that are outside your domain authoritative zone to this IP address. Finally, restart samba daemon to reflect changes and check active directory replication by executing the following commands. Configure Samba. 4 DNS1. Additionally, rename initial Kerberos configuration file from etc path and replace it with the new krb. The file is located in varlibsambaprivate directory. Use Linux symlink to link this file to etc directory. Configure Kerberos. Also, verify Kerberos authentication with samba krb.
