W2012 AD-CS: Event ID 91 - Could not connect to the Active Directory. Active Directory Certificate Services will retry when processing requires Active Directory access.

Question

Friday, November 15, 2013 9:47 AM

We run DC, CA and DNS on W2012 (VMware virtual server). It worked well but some time ago I've noticed Event ID 91 after restart. I've checked permissions following http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc774525(v=ws.10).aspx and there are 2 folders missing in the public key services node: "NTAuthCertificates object" and "Domain Computers and Domain Users containers".  All other rights are set well. But it's a W2008R2 help and I can't find any relevant for W2012.

Running "nltest /sc_verify:[domainname]" command on CA/DC/DNS server I got "I_NetLogonControl failed: Status = 1355 0x54b ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN" error message. But the same command works well on other W2012 server in the domain.

Thanks for an answer. I'm new in Windows Servers so every tip is appreciated for me.

I've checked DNS settings and it looks well. I've played with nltest command parameters and much of them work well:

PS C:\ nltest.exe /query
Flags: 0
Connection Status = 0 0x0 NERR_Succ
The command completed successfully



PS C:\ nltest.exe /sc_query:racom.eu
I_NetLogonControl failed: Status = 1355 0x54b ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN

PS C:\ nltest.exe /dclist:racom.eu

It looks like AD server depended. Command work well for other server.

PS C:\ nltest.exe /server:ad.racom.eu /sc_query:racom.eu
I_NetLogonControl failed: Status = 1355 0x54b ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN

PS C:\ nltest.exe /server:smak.racom.eu /sc_query:racom.eu

Trusted DC Name \ad.racom.eu
Trusted DC Connection Status Status = 0 0x0 NERR_Success
The command completed successfully

What could be reason of problem? What else I could check, please?

Thanks in advance.

It looks like "I_NetLogonControl failed: Status = 1355 0x54b ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN" error after running "nltest /sc_verify:[domainname]" on PDC is some undocumented bug. Is any other way to check the connection between a CA and AD DS, please? 

I'm not sure if "Event ID 91" message isn't post Windows restart warning only. No similar message appears if I restart AD CS service in running W2012.

CA Web Enrollment works for user certificates and I can revoke old certificate via cersrv too. But we can't issue new smartcards via ActivID Card Management System. It ends with "The card issuance failed. Synch Error: Security module synchronization failed. An internal provider error has occured in provider Microsoft Certificate Server 2003, context xxxxxxxx-AD-CA. External operation error. (0x00000005) MSPKI_CA_NOT_ISSUE : Access is denied." message and support put it in connection with "Event ID 91" error.
