Conditional Forwarding Not Available

  • Thread starter Thread starter Jeff
  • Start date Start date
Dear Jeff,

Thank you for your update.

I have performed further research and I suspected it is a SMB sign issue.

Please check the event log to see if there are other errors such as 1030
event. If so, we can try a hotfix mentioned in the following Knowledge Base
article:

810907 Error Messages When You Open or Copy Network Files on Windows XP SP1
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=810907

Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the hotfix. To
obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look
at the web site listed below.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;PHONENUMBERS

NOTE: If you contact Microsoft to obtain this fix, a fee may be initially
applied. However, this fee is refundable if it is determined that you
require only the requested fix. On the other hand, this fee is
non-refundable if you request additional technical support.

However, if the problem still persists, since it is not related to the
original issue (DNS forward issue), I would like to suggest that you post
this question in a dedicated news group for Windows XP:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

I hope the problem can be resolved quickly.

Once again, thank you for using our news groups!

|I looked at this article, too 314494, but there is no EnableDFS in the
|registry under Mup.
|
|I added the value and left its setting at 0
|This did not matter
|
|Looking at the error it seems that it is related to
|\\DOMAINNAME.COM\SYSVOL\domainname.com...etc...etc
|
|The folder exists, but if I attempt to browse to it from the machine
|generating the error, I either get file can not be found, or a permissions
|error if I just try to browse to the SYSVOL folder, all the while doing
this
|as admin.
|
|On the other hand, if I do the same thing from my workstation, as me, a
|member of admins, I can get to the file no prob. It almost seems that even
|though I am logging into the domain, I am not getting the permissions to do
|anything on it...
|
|Currently I am reinstalling XP from scratch using the restore CD for this
|machine, but not the HP Restore Plus feature, I will just install XP myself
|instead of letting HPs cd do it.
|
|Related to the SYSVOL if I look a the properties of the folder there is a
|DFS tab, but for both domain controllers the Status for active says NO from
|this machine, and checking the status says unreachable. But again if I do
|it from my XP workstation as me, I get the Backup DC as active and both
|check out okay.
|
|Any ideas...

SRX030918603293 - That was my case number for this patch, I tried it...but
an interesting thing happed this morning...First, last Thursday I was able
to get the Forwarders to work correctly, and removed the extra DNS setting
for the ISP...but also the NTP (w32time) protocol was not working properly
on the Time Server to go and get time...and I also found that several of my
clients were using various servers to get their time, some of them the Time
server, others were the other Domain Controller who was going out and
getting time (somehow) but after posting a Kerberos error I received on this
machine after a totally clean install, the tech suspected that the machine
was not matching for time, because I could not even get to the SYSVOL as the
admin, which is where the policies are...etc etc.

That was Friday night...this morning, I rebooted the machine, logged in, and
everything was fine...weird! I can only think that because time was wacked
out on the network, it took the weekend to reset everyone...or...perhaps
there were old DNS entries that needed to expire and reregister which might
have taken place over the weekend...

I have not reapplied the hotfix since I rebuilt the machine...so far all I
have done is Windows Update and Backup Software.

Thanks
Jeff Smyrski

Dear Jeff,

Thank you for your update.

I have performed further research and I suspected it is a SMB sign issue.

Please check the event log to see if there are other errors such as 1030
event. If so, we can try a hotfix mentioned in the following Knowledge Base
article:

810907 Error Messages When You Open or Copy Network Files on Windows XP SP1
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=810907

Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the hotfix. To
obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look
at the web site listed below.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;PHONENUMBERS

NOTE: If you contact Microsoft to obtain this fix, a fee may be initially
applied. However, this fee is refundable if it is determined that you
require only the requested fix. On the other hand, this fee is
non-refundable if you request additional technical support.

However, if the problem still persists, since it is not related to the
original issue (DNS forward issue), I would like to suggest that you post
this question in a dedicated news group for Windows XP:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

I hope the problem can be resolved quickly.

Once again, thank you for using our news groups!

Joe Wu

|I looked at this article, too 314494, but there is no EnableDFS in the
|registry under Mup.
|
|I added the value and left its setting at 0
|This did not matter
|
|Looking at the error it seems that it is related to
|\\DOMAINNAME.COM\SYSVOL\domainname.com...etc...etc
|
|The folder exists, but if I attempt to browse to it from the machine
|generating the error, I either get file can not be found, or a permissions
|error if I just try to browse to the SYSVOL folder, all the while doing
this
|as admin.
|
|On the other hand, if I do the same thing from my workstation, as me, a
|member of admins, I can get to the file no prob. It almost seems that even
|though I am logging into the domain, I am not getting the permissions to do
|anything on it...
|
|Currently I am reinstalling XP from scratch using the restore CD for this
|machine, but not the HP Restore Plus feature, I will just install XP myself
|instead of letting HPs cd do it.
|
|Related to the SYSVOL if I look a the properties of the folder there is a
|DFS tab, but for both domain controllers the Status for active says NO from
|this machine, and checking the status says unreachable. But again if I do
|it from my XP workstation as me, I get the Backup DC as active and both
|check out okay.
|
|Any ideas...

Dear Jeff,

Thank you for your update. Based on my understanding, the DNS forward issue
came back. Am I correct?

Yes, let's resolve the security and w32time issues first to make the
environment cleaner. If you need me to monitor that thread, please feel
free to let me know which news group you have posted that question.

If the DNS problem still occurs, please check the steps in my previous
post. For your reference, I have pasted them below:

-------------------------------------
1. Please install DNS and configure a zone for the domain on your proxy
server. Add the ISP DNS servers to the proxy server's forwarder and then
change the local TCP/IP settings to only use itself as the Preferred DNS.
Check if the forwarder works on this server.

If the problem still occurs on this server, I think we need to check the
firewall settings to check if the DNS query packets are blocked.

2. Please check if the following registry entries exist on the two servers:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DNS\Parameters
Value Name: SendPort
Value type: REG_DWORD

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DNS\Parameters
Value Name: SendOnNonDnsPort
Data Type : REG_DWORD
-------------------------------------

Thank you for your time and efforts!

Regards,
Joe Wu

|SRX030918603293 - That was my case number for this patch, I tried it...but
|an interesting thing happed this morning...First, last Thursday I was able
|to get the Forwarders to work correctly, and removed the extra DNS setting
|for the ISP...but also the NTP (w32time) protocol was not working properly
|on the Time Server to go and get time...and I also found that several of my
|clients were using various servers to get their time, some of them the Time
|server, others were the other Domain Controller who was going out and
|getting time (somehow) but after posting a Kerberos error I received on
this
|machine after a totally clean install, the tech suspected that the machine
|was not matching for time, because I could not even get to the SYSVOL as
the
|admin, which is where the policies are...etc etc.
|
|That was Friday night...this morning, I rebooted the machine, logged in,
and
|everything was fine...weird! I can only think that because time was wacked
|out on the network, it took the weekend to reset everyone...or...perhaps
|there were old DNS entries that needed to expire and reregister which might
|have taken place over the weekend...
|
|I have not reapplied the hotfix since I rebuilt the machine...so far all I
|have done is Windows Update and Backup Software.
|
|Thanks
