ntFRS event 13562 (null) Member Reference - Help Please!!!

I am trying to add a second domain controller to my one (1) server domain, but my PDC server is giving me the following warnings:

==========================================
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NtFrs
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13562

Following is the summary of warnings and errors encountered by File Replication Service while polling the Domain Controller server.my-domain.com for FRS replica set configuration information.

The nTFRSSubscriber object cn=domain system volume (sysvol share),cn=ntfrs subscriptions,cn=server,ou=domain controllers,dc=my-domain,dc=com has a invalid value for the attribute frsMemberReference.
==========================================


It appears that there is a (NULL) value in the frsMemberRefernce line. I have tried to make an entry using the ADSIedit tool, using KB article 312862 as my guideline, but the server tells me "that the object can not be modified because it is owned by the system."


I believe the warning above is preventing my new domain controller from completing the "dcpromo" process, as it is giving me these warnings on the new server:

==========================================
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NtFrs
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13566

File Replication Service is scanning the data in the system volume. Computer NEW-SERVER cannot become a domain controller until this process is complete. The system volume will then be shared as SYSVOL.

To check for the SYSVOL share, at the command prompt, type:
net share

When File Replication Service completes the scanning process, the SYSVOL share will appear.

The initialization of the system volume can take some time. The time is dependent on the amount of data in the system volume.
==========================================

The initialization process has been running for over a week. I have rebooted both machines to accelerate the process, but no matter what I do, it won't complete the process and share the SYSVOL directory.

I would appreciate any and all help I can get, becuse I haven't been able to fix the problem.

Thank you in advance,

Greg

Ace,

I have looked that event id dialog, but I am not sure
where to set the frsMemberReference object mentioned.
This is the object that is giving me a warning, and
preventing my new second DC from sharing the SYSVOL and
NETLOGON folders.

But digging around with ASDIedit, I noticed within this
container:

Domain NC[server.my-domain.com]
*DC=my-domain,DC=com
**CN=System
***CN=File Replication Service <---(this one)

There are no containers with in this folder, is this where
I need to place my missing "frsMemberReference"?

If so, what does the line entry look like?

Thanks,

Greg

There should be a folder like this:
Domain System Volume (SYSVOL share)

Then to the right, you should see something like:
Name Class Distinguished
Name
CN=YourComputerName ntFRSmember CN=YourOomputerName,CN=Domain System
Volume (SYSVOL Share),CN=File Replication Service,CN=System,DC=domain,DC=com

(that last line will wrap)

Then under the "Domain System Volume (SYSVOL share)" folder, you should see
the NetBIOS name of YourComputerName, with nothign to the right.

You can try to enter it here.

If you goto ADUC, System Container, do you see a File Replication Service
Folder?

Ace,

The frsmember container & object was missing within the:

Domain NC[server.my-domain.com]
*DC=my-domain,DC=com
**CN=System
***CN=File Replication Service <---(this one)


So I added it using ADSIedit, and I was able to save it.
Now, if I use the advanced view with in ADUC, I can now
see the following:

My-Domain.com
*System (folder/container)
**Domain System Volume (SYSVOL share) (folder/container)
***PDC-SERVER (folder/container)
***BDC-SERVER (folder/container)


If I click (highlight) the Domain System Volume (SYSVOL
share) folder on the left, it shows both servers in the
details screen on the right. Yet, the PDC-Server is
missing the computer name & domain name; where as the BDC-
Server object does have the computer name & domain name.

How do and where do I set these values? If I show the
properties of the PDC-Server object, under the member tab
in the computer link section the "Computer:" and "Domain:"
fields are blank.

I am now getting the following errors:

File Replication Service (Event ID: 13562)
=======================================
Invalid attribute frsMemberReference

Directory Service (Event ID: 1656)
=======================================
The Directory Service was unable to find any RPC protocol
sequences installed on this computer, failing with error
1719. The Directory Service will be unable to respond to
any RPC requests as long as this condition persists.


Thanks for your continued help!

No problem. I haven't experienced these errors as of yet. Curious how they
would have come about. Were you using DFS at one time? ALso curious as to
how the RPC sequence could have been corrupted or compromised?

Have you looked at these?
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q296183
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q312862

And try this to reset the protocol sequence:

Ace,

I have looked at those 2 articles, and have been working
mainly of the KB 312862 document as it was the closest to
my situation. I was able replace the missing registery
RPC key based upon the Eventid article. Thanks for that
one...

To my knowledge DFS was never configured on this domain,
but at one time WINS was; but not anymore. I have taken
over Admin duties from an outside company, trying to clean
up their mess, and add to our network....

This morning I took 2 other computers and duplicated my
domain for test purposes. I used the exact names, made
one the PDC, made the other a BDC and joined them without
problems. Compairing my test environment to my live
environemt, this is what I noticed:

Using ADUC in advanced view, I noticed under the
system/file replication service/domain system volume
(sysvol) folder, the computer & domain entries are missing
on the PDC-Server; but are listed on the BDC-Server.

How do and where do I set these values? If I show the
properties of the PDC-Server object, under the member tab
in the computer link section the "Computer:" and "Domain:"
fields are blank.

This would indicate to me that my PDC wouldn't know which
domain it belonged to.

How can I edit these attributes that the system won't
allow me to alter?

Thanks for your help!

Greg

Hi again Greg. I was hoping you resolved this by now. :-)

Let's see. First, just a terminology correction, there is no such thing as a
"PDC" or a "BDC" in AD. That's a legacy term. They are replicas.

To edit (add, change delete) attributes that you see in ADUC, I thought I
explaine that you do that in ADSI Edit, but reading back I was just
referencing ADSI Edit and didn't mention that. You can make those
adds/changes thru that tool. Just be careful using it, it's similar to the
registry.

See if that helps... (hopefully)

Ace,

Yeah, I was hoping to have this resloved too. Just one
more question.

Some of the attributes that I need to change, the system
will not allow me to change. Would I be able to change
them in Safe Mode?

Thanks for your help,

Happy Holidays!

Unfortunately, no, not in safe mode. If you can't change them in ADSIEdit,
make sure you're logged on as an EA. If it's an attribute (be careful) you
can use the Schema snapin, but that's dangerous. I don't think it's an
attribute you want to change, just the setting or the object itself.
Attributes are predefined in the Schema. Usually all the attributes are
there, just the entries in ADSI Edit you want to alter. Like I said, be
careful.

Happy Holidays to you and your family too!
:-)
