Windows Server - Windows 2000 Domain with New 2003 DC hangs

Asked By James

Hey,

I have a domain with 2 windows 2000 DC, running in Windows 2000 native mode.

I recently ran forest prep and domain prep from CD2 of Windows 2k3 R2

I then created a new w2k3 server, installed all updates and DNS.
I ran dcpromo on it without error
I have set its DNS to point to its own static IP

Now when I reboot it, it hangs at Preparing network connections and logs
events: 2088 & 5781


If I change its DNS to point at a W2k DC with DNS, and put the alternative
DNS to its own IP, it boots up much quicker and only logs event ID 4015

Any suggestions?

Is your DNS set as AD integrated?

I should also add, the Windows 2000 Domain controllers/DNS servers boot up
with out issue.  Its only the new Windows 2003 DC/DNS server that has issues

Is the DNS zone replicated to the new DC?
Are the SRV records of the new DC listed in the DNS zone?

Hello james,

As you have also 4015 when changing the order please check:

Additional post an unedited ipconfig /all form the old 2000 and new 2003
DC/DNS servers, so wen can check the complete settings.

Best regards
