The FSMO role ownership could not be verified because its directory partition has not replicated successfully with at least one replication partner

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام علي رسول الله وآله وصحبه وإخوانه وسلم

The following error poped up when i was trying to set up a new child domain in a third site:

The FSMO role ownership could not be verified because its directory partition has not replicated successfully with at least one replication partner

first this is my topology:

So, as the error message states, the CA-DC-01 which is the replication partner for GZ-DC-01 is not fully replicated with AL-DC-01 and this is because i have turned off AL-DC-01 to save some memory.

Though after i have powered AL-DC-01 again the process of promoting GZ-DC-01 to the directory was successful, thank to Allah.

Hope that has been ifnormative to you.

Do you want to reinstall that domain?

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام علي رسول الله وآله وصحبه وإخوانه وسلم

Do you want to reinstall that domain?

I was creating a child domain, but the installation wizard poped up with the previous error message:

"Directory configuration information indicates that the domain child.mydomain.com already exists. Do you want to reinstall that domain? If you click Yes, all information about the prior Active Directory Domain Services domain installation will be deleted."

 some search on the internet for this problem i have seen som solutions but they did not work.

finally i came across a thread in a forum, which stated that:

"This problem occurs when you are using cloned virtual machines that have the same SID".

I have mad a new virtual machine "clean installation" from the beginning.

Finally thanks to Allah it worked.

Hope that has been informative to you.

Solved: I Can Ping The DNS Server But I Can Not Resolve Names ! !!

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام علي رسول الله وآله وصحبه وإخوانه وسلم

Solved: I Can Ping The DNS Server But I Can Not Resolve Names!

Consider the previous topology, i was creating a child domain in Alex, i have set the DNS in the network properties to use 192.168.1.1 which is the ip address of Cairo_DC, however i could ping the ip address but i couldn't resolve names consequently i could not promote the Alex_DC to the active directory.

playing around this issue for sometime, i remembered that the ip helper address command used on Cisco router could also be used to forward traffic to DNS that is not located on the same subnet. As you know this command is used commonly for DHCP relay agent feature.

to sum up:

I have entered the following command under  interface f1/0:

ip helper address 192.168.1.1

And finally thanks to Allah it worked.

Hope that has been informative to you.

How To Enable Remote Desktop Connection To Windows 2008 Core Installation

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام علي رسول الله وآله وصحبه وإخوانه وسلم

 How To Enable Remote Desktop Connection To Windows 2008 Core Installation

1- Enable the Remote Desktop for Administration mode to accept connections:

cscript C:\Windows\System32\Scregedit.wsf /ar 0

in order to view your current settings you can type:

cscript C:\Windows\System32\Scregedit.wsf /ar /v

If you see "1" in the script output, that means that RDP connections are denied.

If you see a "0", they will be allowed.

for example:

2-  If you are running the Terminal Services client on a previous 
version of Windows, you must turn off the higher security level that is 
set by default in Windows Server 2008. To do this, type the following 
command at the command prompt: 

cscript C:\Windows\System32\Scregedit.wsf /cs 0 

3- Allow the RDP to pass through the firewall:
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Desktop" new enable=yes

 Also this is a short video showing the whole process:
