Hi All,
I'm trying to do a domain rename, but I'm getting errors during the "rendom.exe /prepare" step.
The forest has a root domain, with 7 child domains. I'm just trying to change the DNS name of the forest, from "abcde" to "abcde.local" (yes, right now it's a SLD). This, of course, affects all the child domains, so they are all being renamed to include the new ".local" portion.
I only have one DC in each one of the 8 domains (1 root + 7 child domains), and only one DNS server for all the forest (which is the DC for the root domain).
Yes, I know that there should be a couple more DCs and DNS, but I'm relatively new to this structure and didn't had the time to correct some things :)
The error that I'm getting on the "rendom.exe /prepare" is this, for all the DCs, except the root DC.
Failed to find SPN LDAP/dc1.abcde/abcde.local on CN=DC1,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=abcde
This shows up as error 30169 on the control station, if I remember correctly.
This is happening on all the 7 child DCs, the root DC is the only one that gets to the "prepared" state, all the others give this error (all refering the root DC), and all refer the root DC.
I've checked the DNS records and they seem ok (at least acording to the "Step-by-step guide to implementing domain rename"), and I've checked the actual servicePrincipalName for the DC1 server, and the SPN mentioned is there (LDAP/dc1.abcde/abcde.local), along with a ton of others :)
I'm using an Enterprise Admin account.
Netdiag and DCDiag run fine on the 8 DCs. No errors on event log.
I've rerung the "rendom.exe /prepare" command a couple of times, as sugested on the white papers, but to no avail, the error keeps showing up.
Can anyone help me out with this? I suspect that I might be missing a DNS entry somewere, although I seem to have all the records mentioned on the papers. I might have some other structure problem that isn't quite visible during day to day operations, but I'm not sure what to check.
I've searched this problem on the net, but couldn't find anything specific to this problem.
If any of you could give me a hand, you will get my eternal thanks ;)
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Helder
