I completed the SBS 2003 to SBS 008 migration and operated successfully for 17 days...approaching the 21 day coexistence date for the 2003 and 2008 SBS servers. Everything has been working perfectly with minor issues that all have been quickly resolved.
In an effort to complete the migration I proceeded with the decomission steps just as instructed and the steps worked flawlessley. I was careful to not-check the checkbox that indicated this was the last domain controller...etc...
The SBS 2003 server rebooted and trouble. Instinctively I rebooted the SBS2008 server and now there are issue. Exchange is not functioning and "a suitable domain controller can not be found..."
HELP!
After running DCDIAG I received results with many 'passes' and expected exchange failures based on domain issues.
The only non-exchange error is NCSecDesc with a couple of context:
(1)
Starting test: NCSecDesc Error NT AUTHORITY\ENTERPRISE DOMAIN CONTROLLERS doesn't have Replicating Directory Changes In Filtered Set access rights for the naming context:DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=<domain name xxxx>,DC=local Error NT AUTHORITY\ENTERPRISE DOMAIN CONTROLLERS doesn't have Replicating Directory Changes In Filtered Set access rights for the naming context:DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=<domain namexxxx>,DC=local ......................... <server name xxx> failed test NCSecDesc(2) The second one is a system log failure which I believe is related to the previous DC rights.
Hi,
There are many areas that can be investigated, but it does sound as if you have a directory problem, so the questions:
Thanks
