DNS Entries diagnostic

Verifies that the DNS entries registered by a specific domain controller can be found on the DNS servers. It finds and parses the following file for pertinent DNS information (which should work for non-MS DNS references): C:\Windows\System32\config\netlogon.dns. This functionality is mostly redundant with the reported ‘isSrvRegistered’ value for each given domain controller.

If this test fails, you should:
•
Ensure that the selected server is operational.
•
Ensure that you have access to the admin$ share on the selected server. This test requires access to the netlogon.dns file stored in admin$\System32\config.
•
Verify that you can make DNS requests from your computer. This test contacts the default DNS server for the local computer.

DNS Partners diagnostic

Verifies that the DC can find the DNS records of each of its inbound replication partners on the DNS server that it is using. To accomplish this, the test works in unison with LDAP and NSLOOKUP utilities.

If this test fails, you should:
•
Ensure that the DC and its partners are operational.
•
Ensure LDAP connectivity is available against the target DC (access via ntdsConnection object).
•
Verify (either using nslookup or the Microsoft® DNS snap-in) that the entries are actually registered.

File Replication diagnostic

Allows you to check the presence of any file on other domain controllers. This test verifies that the files stored on all shares are physically the same files. It verifies the file size in bytes, file date, and file name between the source server and all other selected servers.

To run this test, select the replication partners and enter the name of the file or folder you want confirmed. The test continues through all DCs, recording errors as it processes differences that are found.

* 
NOTE: Select only one target server when running this test.

Test Input
Description

Select Replication Partners

Select this button to select the servers where tests should compare the most recent update with that of the target server. Selecting this button displays the Select Target dialog which provides a list of replication partners to choose from.

NOTE: The credentials for the domain controller selected on the Test Targets page will be used to query the replication partner servers selected here. Therefore, the user account used by the selected target server must also have access to these replication partners.
NOTE: Be sure to select servers (both the target servers and replication partners) that are within the same forest. Selecting servers that reside in different forests will result in communication errors.

File Name

Enter the name of the file or folder you want to compare.

Enter in the following format:

c:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts

Compare File Size

This check box is selected by default indicating that the diagnostic test is to compare the file size. Clear this check box if you do not wish to compare the file size.

Compare File Date

This check box is selected by default indicating that the diagnostic is to compare the file date. Clear this check box if you do not wish to compare the file date.

If this test fails, you should:
•
Ensure that you have access to the admin$ share on the selected server.

FSMO Best Practices diagnostic

Tests to determine whether the target domain controllers are following FSMO best practice guidelines.

To run this test, select the best practices to be verified. All best practices are selected by default.

 
Table 91. FSMO Best Practices diagnostic
Test Input
Description

Verify that the PDC Emulator and RID Master roles are on the same domain controller

When selected, the test check if both of these roles are located on the same domain controller.

Verify that the Schema Master and the Domain Naming Master roles are on the same domain controller

When selected, the test checks if the Schema Master is also holding the Domain Naming Master role.

Verify that the Infrastructure Master is not a Global Catalog

When selected, the test checks if any domain controllers that hold the Infrastructure Master also hosts a copy of the Global Catalog.
