Ok, here goes:
Start setup:
Single win2k native domain with Exhange 2k, everything is patched/SP'ed up.
2 DC’s: DC1 And DC2
I want to upgrade to win2k3 domain.
I move All FSMO roles to DC2, all machines PR. DNS in house points to DC2
I demote DC1.
I do the /forestprep and /domainprep
All works well for a month
I then do an in-place upgrade on DC2
All services and all AD related stuff seems to works well.
I then do an clean install of DC1 ( with a new name )
Then I do a dcpromo.
Dcpromo runs for a while and starts replicating, the schema partition ( 2000 objects ) it goes well, but when replicating the configuration directory partition, It fails ( the same place every time ) halfway through. Reporting:
The local domain controller could not replicate the following object from the source domain controller at the following network address because of an Active Directory schema mismatch.
Object:
CN=exchangeservername,CN=Servers,CN=domainname,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=Dansk InterNet Selskab,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration
Network address:
"FQDN of DC2"
Active Directory will attempt to synchronize the schema before attempting to synchronize the following directory partition.
Directory partition:
CN=Configuration,DC=domainame,DC=countrycode
On DC1 I can see approximately 45 yellow events in directory service eventlog ( that dcpromo have created ), that all seems to relate to exchange, like this one:
Internal event: The following schema class has a superclass that is not valid.
Class identifier:
1004613352
Class name:
msExchRoutingSMTPConnector
Superclass identifier:
196659
Inheritance was ignored.
I have a bad understanding of classes and class identifiers. But I can see all these entries and their proporties in Schema snap-in.
if i try to browse th AD DB with LDP tool, i could get the impression that the errors is all under the same group, namely:
CN=exchangeservername,CN=Servers,CN=domainname,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=Dansk InterNet Selskab,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration
I try to do repairs on AD DB with NTDSUTIL in directory restore mode:
Run Ntdsutil files integrity
And then a
Ntdsutil Symantec database analysis go
And then
Ntdsutil Symantec database analysis go fixup
This check actually reports some errors. but it doesn't seem like it removed the errors because when i run it again, it repports the same number of phantoms. there is also some timestamp errors.
I tried to do a metadata cleanup, but when connected to site and domain and try to connect to server, NTDSUTIL can only see the DC2, so that doesn’t help much.
How do I go on from here?
