I am setting up a Win2K terminal server member to a SBS2K domain. On the TS,
we will need to have a few different groups created. Some of the users will
need access to run certain applications, while others not. I have followed
KB263070, but when I attempt to click on the Group Policy Tab I recieve the
error "The Domain controller for Group Policy operations is not available.
You may cancel this ioeratn for this session or retry using one of the
following domain controller choices:

The one with the Operations Master token for the PDC emulator

The one used by the Active Directory Snap-ins

Use any available domain controller.



I have tried all three options to no avail. Any suggestions?

Mark,

The FRS service is running, and I have tested all of the items you mention
in your paper. The problem still exists.

We need to redefine this problem in the proper context. The problem you have
has really nothing to do with a TS configuration or really even a GPO issue,
you have an AD problem. If you get the error message you mentioned, you are
not looking to try the three alternatives that were offered, you need to
resolve the root problem why you were not able to contact the AD subsystem
resources when working on the DC itself. The answer to this is likely to be
revealed by tracing the Event Viewer errors that are being created at the
same time as you see these messages on screen. In addition, you probably are
getting errors following a reboot. The errors are likely showing up in
several event logs, among them the Application, System, Directory Service,
and perhaps even the File Replication Service. You need to comb through
those and determine what is revealed from those hints, and put the TS
configuration process on hold for now, that's really just a distraction for
now from the main problem.

The thing that is bothering me with this Jeff, is the fact that it is
happening on two different systems. Meaning 2 seperate sbs servers and 2
seperate terminal servers. When I started to try to create the GPO on a
client's system, I ran into this problem. I then went to my own system, and
experienced the exact same problem. There is nothing special about the way
they are configured. They are just plain vanilla installations.

nothing there rings a bell.

You probably need to look at the event logs to see if you can determine when
the errors began to show up (assuming that there should be an indication of
some sort there), and then scan the entire computer for new files added a
that time frame....see if you get any clues.

No, that's still the shockwave after the explosion, we still don't have a
cause there.

However, trace back to when that started, and you have the point of origin
of the problem. Probably going to coincide with a product upgrade, most
likely a service pack, maybe even a restore from tape. That is definitely
the clue you want to hunt backwards though.

Re: GPO on member TS by Chris

Chris
Thu Jul 31 10:21:50 CDT 2003

Jeff,

I have figured out the problem here. The way that I was setup------
Internal NIC
172.20.1.1 IP
255.255..0.0 Subnet
No gateway
172.20.1.1 DNS

External
192.168.1.253 IP
255.255.255.0 Subnet
192.168.1.1 gateway
205.152.187.254 DNS
205.152.144.235 DNS

What was happeing here, is when I would attempt to open group policy, the
server would put a query against my ISP DNS server for who is
machine.domain.local.
The ISP DNS server obviously had no idea, causing the error.

I changed the DNS on the external nic to point to 172.20.1.1 and verified
the binding order of the NICS. LAN, WAN, Remote connections.

I then opened up DNS and setup forwarders to my ISP DNS, and then performed
a test against itself and against the ISP. Voila!! Problem solved!

Thanks for your input!!

Well, good that you figured that out. BTW, the private address space should
be 172.16.x.x if you want to repair that as well. That's a bit more work
though.
