Dear reader,
not sure this is the right forum for my question, so I in total have posted
it in the forums:
microsoft.public.win2000.dns
microsoft.public.win2000.networking
microsoft.public.windows.server.dns
microsoft.public.windows.server.networking
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Windows_Server_2003/Q_21444473.html
Any solution or directions to what to do much appreciated.
The environment:
In our (single) domain we have +50 XP PCs and 4 Windows Server 2003 DCs (3
in-house being "maria", "tina" and "robert" and 1 being "oscar" in remote
location).
One DC (robert) run the DHCP Server service (and DHCP Client service for
registering and updateing IP addresses and DNS records for this computer).
All 4 DCs run DNS (two zones).
The following server roles/functions apply:
erik: dhcp (running but not defined nor used by any PC). 192.168.65.80
maria: dns, secondary wins. 192.168.65.76
oscar: dns (though no PC currently point to this). 192.168.65.25
robert: dhcp, dns, primary wins. 192.168.65.3
tina: dhcp (running but not defined nor used by any PC), dns, secondary
wins. 192.168.65.4
No changes implemented(! as certain as I can be) in regards of any of these
servers within the last week.
a. The problem:
a.1. XP PCs runs fine and can renew (re-obtain) IP leases from our DHCP
server. However a PC which has not got an IP fails to get such from the DHCP
server. The PC is for sure "on the network" (e.g. manually assigning an IP
and it runs "fine").
a.2. "ipconfig -renew" show a new Lease was obtained (updated time also for
when the lease expires).
a.3. "ipconfig -release" followed by "ipconfig -renew" result in the error
message "An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection :
unable to cotact your DHCP server. Request has timed out.".
a.4. Restart of a PC and it get's (unknown how/from where) IP 169.254.5.70
(or any other within the subnet range 169.254.x.x.) , netmask 255.255.0.0
and no default gateway.
a.5. Same as a.4. when an IP has expired (e.g. a PC was powered off last
night and this morning had the problem).
b. Other problems/symptoms:
c. On robert Windows Server 2003 (Version 5.2 (Build
3790.srv03_rtm.030324-2048)" - role DC, dhcp, dns, primary wins:
c.1. In dhcp managment console see erik as running (no DHCP is defined on
this though), "Cannot find the DHCP Server" on tina nor oscar. robert self
has DHCP defined and I can see all of this.
c.2. In dns management console see oscar and maria fine, but get error
"Unable to connect to the computer "tina". The error was: The network path
was not found." and "Cannot Contact the DNS Server" from tina.
c.3. DHCP Server plus Client and DNS Server plus Client services running.
c.4. Ping erik, maria and oscar but not tina ("Request timed out").
c.5 Map a network drive to erik, maria and oscar but not tina (get error:
"The drive could not be mapped because no network was found")
c.6 +50 available IP's in DHCP scope.
Restarting robert result in the following error entry in the SystemLog:
