In the original release version of Windows , the upgrade routine clears the check box that links the primary DNS suffix of the domain controller to its DNS domain name.
Event IDs and occur on a Windows-based computer. Create a Disjoint Namespace. In Windows , the maximum number of domains in a forest is In Windows Server and later versions, the maximum number of domains at Forest Functional Level 2 is This restriction is a limitation of multivalued non-linked attributes in Windows Server So, choose an Internet DNS domain name that is short and easy to remember.
Short domain names make the computer names easy to remember. If the organization has an Internet presence, use names that are relative to the registered Internet DNS domain name. For example, if you have registered the Internet DNS domain name contoso.
Don't use the name of an existing corporation or product as your domain name. You can run into a name collision later on. Avoid a generic name like maybe domain. Another company you merge with in a few years might follow the same thinking. Don't use an acronym or an abbreviation as a domain name. Users may have difficulty recognizing the business unit that an acronym represents.
Applications might be very RFC obedient and reject the name, and will not install or work in your domain. And you might experience problems with older DNS servers. Don't use the name of a business unit or of a division as a domain name. Business units and other divisions will change, and these domain names can be misleading or become obsolete.
Avoid extending the DNS domain name hierarchy more than five levels from the root domain. You can reduce administrative costs by limiting the extent of the domain name hierarchy. If you are deploying DNS in a private network, and you don't plan to create an external namespace, register the DNS domain name that you create for the internal domain.
Otherwise, you may find that the name is unavailable if you try to use it on the Internet, or if you connect to a network that is connected to the Internet. We recommend that you use a valid DNS name when you create a new site name. Otherwise, your site will be available only where a Microsoft DNS server is used. All characters are allowed, even extended characters.
Although Active Directory Users and Computers lets you name an OU with extended characters, we recommend that you use names that describe the purpose of the OU and that are short enough to easily manage. When the OU at the domain root level has the same name as a future child domain, you might experience database problems.
Consider a scenario where you delete an OU named marketing to create a child domain with the same name, for example, marketing. After syspreping, restarting and logging on the computer, run PsGetSid again.
Please check if the SID for your computer changes. Thanks, that seemed like a likely culprit, but the computer does come up with a new SID after running Sysprep. As I said before it also comes up with a different name until the next reboot. I have looked for logon and shutdown scripts as well as Scheduled Tasks that may affect this, but I found nothing. In the Event Logs, the only thing I see is the entry in the System Log that says the computer name has been changed just after the reboot.
To recap, there are 3 servers belonging to the vendor that are set up identically to run the same application and they all have Windows Web with SP2 as the OS. All 3 of these servers have the computer rename problem. The vendor has one other server running Windows Standard with SP2. That server communicates with the other 3 servers within the context of the application, but this server does not have the same problem. Once I run Sysprep on it, the computer name changes and it does not revert to the original name.
You have the right idea. Our DR testing is usually done in an isolated environment with a copy of a production DC, and I told management that this would be much different. These servers can't be in the isolated environment because there are climate control devices on the production network that need to connect to them via IP.
We have yet to work out how we will do this in our real DR environment. I think the plan is to buy duplicates of all the devices or something similar. That said, we also rename the DR test servers in the isolated environment. I inherited the proceedure, but I think it's so that nobody confuses the test servers with production ones. Normally renaming the servers in the isolated environment is successful and we don't even Sysprep them.
And in the current environment the server with a different configuration than the trouble ones was renamed successfully, so there is just something about these 3 servers that is causing the rename problem, which is consistent with what you are saying - The servers probably aren't clean enough to Sysprep.
I think we are resigned to leaving things as they are. I don't believe there is any reason the test servers need to be joined to the domain, NetBIOS is disabled on them and static DNS records have been created using the desired host name. For this reason, the testing should work I think. We would like to be able to join them to the domain, but it shouldn't be necessary. Office Office Exchange Server.
Not an IT pro? Windows Server TechCenter. My brief experience of Windows so far leads me to believe that a setting may need to be adjusted to make the page viewable. Just to clarify the situation. Locally through the intranet the web server can be seen. The IP address can be pingged successfully. A domain name has now resolved and displays the same error. The server has all the latest patches added. I'm not convinced the Windows permissions are completely right and that may be the case for IIS 6.
My line of thinking is because IIS 6 is shipped locked down, something needs to be enabled to get everything working. What do you think? From what I read, IIS 6 is pretty locked down as installed. I haven't played with or IIS 6 so I'm sorta groping in the dark here. Any event log errors that might help out? How about IIS logs? That is all I have done. I do not have access to the server directly at the moment.
