dcdiag.exe Error

[bombergirl]

I had 3 domains (All are know as MIS) in different sites.
All 3 are global catalogue. When i run dcdiag.exe on one of the domain controllers, i got these errors.

Starting test: Advertising
Warning: NY-SO is not advertising as a time server.
......................... NY-SO failed test Advertising
Starting test: Intersite
......................... mis.com.sg passed test Intersite
Starting test: FsmoCheck
Warning: DcGetDcName(PDC_REQUIRED) call failed, error 1355
A Primary Domain Controller could not be located.
The server holding the PDC role is down.
......................... mis.com.sg failed test FsmoCheck


What does these errors means? I have Time Server error on one of the domain too.
Could appreciate anyone advise on these. Thanks

DcGetDcName(PDC_REQUIRED) call failed, error 1355


name resolution issue,

did ur DC pointing DC DNS? or ISP DNS as preferred DNS setting?

ping PDCe's FQDN?

bascially, it means that DC lost connection to PDCe.
