Event ID:1030 & 1054 GP not applied

[Dehcbad25]

I never did really thought on how to run more than one Domain in the same network. I had always separated the networks thru the physical media. As pointed out DHCP will register automatically with DNS. I also hear in one webcast 2 weeks ago, that on multiple domains (here becomes kind of fuzzy my memory) even thought you are registered with one domain, if you are getting settings from another, it will try to talk with the other bla bla bla. Sorry, I can't remember well, but it should provide some area to think. I would say, Check which GC you are connecting too. Check the DNS settings in the DNS server. (from the DNS console and the network properties) Make sure it is pointing to itself, and that it has forwarders set up. Check the partners replication (you don't want it to synch with other domain DNS)(thought then again, in some cases you might want to)
I find it a lot easier, to make a list of which server should have which service, and then I check to make sure those settings are true

All,

Happy news!!

This problem has been solved. Thank you all, for your help!!

Although the single or dual cause could not determined these are the two things that seemed to contribute to the problem.

I had two NIC's on the client one was not connected to the internet the other was. I disabled one totally.

I had Norton Internet Security but it was still set to only trust the old domain. I added the ip address of the new DC/DNS/AD server.

The clue here was the error message in GPMC which said there was a core failure - I could edit and see GP's from the machine in question but GP could not be applied..

I did a:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

Everything appears to be working now according to GPMC. (It is so much easier to use the new GPMC then the old MMC RSOP add in)

Also the KB MS document:

for trouble shooting GP in MS Win Serv 2003 was a big help.


My next task is to determine how to properly harden my DC/AD/DNS server with a firewall.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
