Issue with DNS initial Synchronization

Question

Thursday, July 4, 2019 2:01 PM

Hi everybody,

Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me.

The context:

We are beginning our IT from scratch (new forest with new DC)

-          We have 3 DNS servers (that are also Domain Controllers)

  • Primary is installed on subnet 1 (installed in February with no apparent errors)
  • Secondary is installed on subnet 1 (installed in February with no apparent errors)
  • Thrid is installed on subnet 2 routed with the first one (installed today with a an error à “A Delegation for this DNS server cannot be found or does not run Windows DNS server…” 

-          The error we are having:

  • “The DNS server is waiting for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to signal that the initial synchronization of the directory has been completed. The DNS server service cannot start until the initial synchronization is complete because critical DNS data might not yet be replicated onto this domain controller. If events in the AD DS event log indicate that there is a problem with DNS name resolution, consider adding the IP address of another DNS server for this domain to the DNS server list in the Internet Protocol properties of this computer. This event will be logged every two minutes until AD DS has signaled that the initial synchronization has successfully completed.”

-          We manage our DNS addresses with Microsoft’s IPAM

  • Installed in the subnet 1. It do have the connection to all 3 DNS but we have an issue with the _msdcs zone (Zone Status = Error)
  • Do not know if linked…

I am a bit lost on what to do next… Everything seems fine by me, the replication seems to work fine (maybe a bit slow). However, as we are starting from scratch, I do not want to have some issues on our Infrastructure.

Thank you in advance,

Best Regards,

Jon

Hello,

Is it possible to have an output of a dcdiag /e ?

Do you have any Firewall between subnet 1 and subnet 2 ?

Best Regards,

Hello,

Is it possible to have an output of a dcdiag /e ?

Do you have any Firewall between subnet 1 and subnet 2 ?

Best Regards,

Sorry about the delays... Have been sick..

No Firewall between them. They are both "virtually" connected to the same Nexus Switch.

Hello,

Based on your output it seems that you have a lot of errors regarding network communication between your DCs

Maybe you should check with a port query that the ports listed in the article are open :

/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/dd772723(v=ws.10)

Best Regards,
