Schema version inconsistent

•	Supported on: Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022

•	Required permissions: Domain user privilege is required.

Description

The Active Administrator® Foundation Service (AFS) periodically checks the consistency of the schema version across all of the domain controllers in the forest. If any of the domain controllers has a differing value for the schema version, the alert is generated.

Resolution

•	Wait for a while to see if the error clears itself. An inconsistent schema version alert can be transitory in nature.

•	If you have waited long enough for replication to have occurred to all domain controllers and the alert does not clear itself, contact your Microsoft® Windows® support representative.

Site link settings inconsistent with PDC

•	Supported on: Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022

•	Required permissions: Domain user privilege is required.

Description

The Active Administrator® Foundation Service (AFS) periodically checks the site link settings (Description, Assigned sites, Cost, Replication interval and Schedule) of the PDC and compares them to the other domain controllers in the forest. If any of the domain controllers has a differing value from the PDC, an alert is issued.

Resolution

•	Wait for a while to see if the error clears itself. An inconsistent site link settings alert can be transitory in nature.

•	If alert does not clear, contact your Microsoft® Windows® support representative.

Site settings inconsistent with PDC

Description

The Active Administrator® Foundation Service (AFS) periodically checks the site settings (name, description, cn, displayName, location, managedBy, objectCategory, Subnets, and Servers) of the PDC and compares them to the other domain controllers in the forest. If any of the domain controllers has a differing value from the PDC, an alert is issued.

Resolution

Subnet settings inconsistent with PDC

Description

The Active Administrator® Foundation Service (AFS) periodically checks the settings (Description, Assigned site, Prefix) of the PDC and compares them to the other domain controllers in the forest. If any of the domain controllers has a differing value from the PDC, an alert is issued.
