Title: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: Ryuk on March 04, 2012, 11:29:26 AM
I recently, had too replace the board in this unit.  The odd thing is that I cant get it setup like I had for some reason.  I installed AD, DHCP, useing intergrated DNS. 





Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\WINDOWS\debug\dcdiag.txt.

An error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain DataCenter.com.

The error was: "No records found for given DNS query."
(error code 0x0000251D DNS_INFO_NO_RECORDS)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.DataCenter.com

I downed the DHCP on my Router, gave it a static IP.  I cant ping too or from the unit but, the other machines attached can ping each other

I redone everything.  It appears to be a DNS issue.

Whats wrong :/

Well, this is a computer help forum. The usual format of a help forum is....you ask a question, people try and help.

You have not asked a question, you have just supplied information on what you have done without mentioning exactly what you are try to achieve. Therefore creating a pointless thread............

No, that is the general question.  Whats wrong.  I cant join any of the clients too the Server
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: reddevilggg on March 14, 2012, 02:44:06 PM

Your lack of proper description is confusing me. You have to describe the network that you've created. You mentioned a server then a router and now clients. How are they connected? Clients to router to server ??
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: Ryuk on March 14, 2012, 02:48:12 PM
Im still fairly new to working with all this.  The people that I want to connect to the Server are connected via a Router
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: reddevilggg on March 14, 2012, 02:53:11 PM

OK, So where have you pinged from exactly.

Have you pinged from the client to the server?  You could use the tracert command to see how far the signal goes.
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: Ryuk on March 14, 2012, 03:37:05 PM
I pinged too an from an comes back destionation unreachable. 
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: reddevilggg on March 14, 2012, 03:43:22 PM
and if you use the tracert command you can see where the connection fails.  If you ping from the client to the server there can only be 4 places it can fail......
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: Ryuk on March 14, 2012, 03:56:10 PM
I'll try that when I get the chance.  Sadly, I am not with the unit; Since we are experienceing network troubles. I cant do anything from where I am ether.

You never seem to be at the machine you come and ask about...
A much more effective way of troubleshooting would be for you to reconsider that strategy...

And i mean that with the best of intentions ...for all of us.

I tried running the command but, it came back as like unknow parmeters.  I gave it the name of the Server - Client an vice versa
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: patio on March 17, 2012, 07:49:11 PM
Then you typed the command wrong...
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server

the name of the Server ??  You supposed to put the I.P address of the server.......
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: Ryuk on March 18, 2012, 05:57:00 PM
I worked on this a little more here this moring.  I checked both of the routers, reset them with the settings I had.  I had been able to do a tracert an it has issues at 6.  My laptop, is able to see the Server an I am able too login.
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: reddevilggg on March 19, 2012, 08:28:11 AM

I checked both of the routers, reset them with the settings I had.

Now there are 2 routers ??  Why is this the first time you are telling us this ?? Why have you reset them and what settings did you previously have ?  If you are changing and/or reseting things that i am helping you to troubleshoot, how am i supposed know what is actually going on ??

I had been able to do a tracert an it has issues at 6.
This would help if you had explained the actual topology. You've told me "The people that I want to connect to the Server are connected via a Router". You have NOT mentioned 2 routers........  ::)   
Being as you have neglected to tell me this important information, even though i've asked for it, then i can not tell you what 'issues at 6' means.  ???

My laptop, is able to see the Server an I am able too login.

Login to what?

I will not be able to help if all you throw me is crumbs!
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: Ryuk on March 19, 2012, 11:40:21 AM
Cause, the wireless doesnt matter.  The clients are on the Linksys wired.  I reset them too make sure since, I dont leave them on all the time.  The settings are still all the same though.

It just runs to a swith/hub - Router

Login - Via Remote
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: reddevilggg on March 20, 2012, 07:25:56 AM

Cause, the wireless doesnt matter. 
and now there's a wireless as well

I reset them too make sure since, I dont leave them on all the time.  The settings are still all the same though.
The configurations should be saved in NVRAM, no need to 'reset' anything.

It just runs to a swith/hub - Router
and now there's a switch/hub  ???

So, i will ask for the LAST time, what the actual physical topology is. Without it you're on your own.........
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: Ryuk on March 20, 2012, 11:40:06 AM
As I said the Wireless doesnt matter.  I just downed DHCP on it an used a patch cable to connect it to the wired router.  This never caused, issues before.  :o  It seems like my laptop is the only unit able too see it even if it is wireless.

Yeah, Just to make sure that there were no IP conflicts though.

I provided it >< the primary thing is that goes from the server to a long patch cable to the router to the clients

if you want me too map it again

Server - Switch/Hub - Router - Clients
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: patio on March 20, 2012, 06:28:08 PM
Map it again...'cause so far including your last Post we still have no idea of the layout so that we can advise with intelligent suggestions.

Agreed

As I said the Wireless doesnt matter.

Why doesn't it? How is anybody supposed to know at which point the connection fails if we do not know ALL the connections? If you supplied the information that was asked for 17 posts ago, we might be able to help.............
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: Rob Pomeroy on March 22, 2012, 05:53:43 AM
*facepalm*

We're really struggling here to understand your network topology.  Do you understand it?  Can you maybe draw a picture in Visio/Dia or something?
Title: Re: Data Center 2008 Server
Post by: Ryuk on March 22, 2012, 10:18:56 AM
I do have the switch/hub connected to the routers uplink port.  I cant see it wireless know for some reason, dont know how it did before ether.  The fact that Im ignoreing the wireless is cause, I only have two units that would be able to use it any how.  That an I only use it too remote into the wired machines on the Router.

Out of interest, what's your first language?

I'll assume you're able to use Google to look up that error code yourself.  In the meantime, where did you see this error message?  What else did it say?

No, I don't believe it.  And/or the college English teacher needs to be fired.

The error came up when I tried to take it off the workgroup.  I have it in a txt file on the unit Im tring to join but, I dont have it currently.  All I do know is that its a problem with the DNS.
