9/29/2005 9:33:25 AM    Problem with 2k3 DC in 2k domain
Good Morning!  
  
I am having a problem with a 2003 server that I brought into my 2000 domain.  
  
I have a freshly loaded 2003 server that is replacing the master 2000 server  
  
in my domain.  
  
I updated the schema. No problems  
  
I transferred the schema master role.  No Problems  
  
I transferred the domain naming master role.  No Problems  
  
I transferred the RID master role.  No Problems  
  
I transferred the PDC emulator role (yeah, still got a couple NT boxes to  
  
kill).  No Problems  
  
I transferred the infrastructure master role.  No Problems  
  
I transferred the global catalog.  No Problems  
  
The problem is that now, if I try to browse the entire network from any  
  
computer in the domain (with the exception of the new 2003 server), it tells  
  
me my domain is not accessible and the list of servers for this workgroup is  
  
not currently available.  
  
If I shut down the 2003 machine, I can browse again.  Turn it back on and I  
  
can't browse again.  
  
I've been digging through the KB with a little help.  
  
Managed to clear up the errors I was getting in the event logs.  
  
Although I can't access the application or system logs on the 2000 DCs  
  
unless I remote to them from the 2003 DC.  Not sure if this is tied to the  
  
browsing problems or not.  
  
I thought maybe it just needed to settle down and finish synchronizing for a  
  
while.  Nope.  It has been like this for a week now.  
  
Any ideas?  
  
Thanks  
  
Mark

will dcdiag and netdiag run ok. Is DNS and WINS working OK.Did the machine  
  
list itself as the DC and FSMO role holders in DNS? Is it a DNS server?

Hope it helps

dcdiag and netdiag run fine other than the errors I mentioned already.  
  
DNS and WINS look good.  
  
It lists itself as a SOA and NS...  
  
Not sure what to look for on the "listing itself as the DC and FSMO roles"??  
  
If it actually says that, then no it didn't.  
  
Yes it is a DNS and WINS server (also the DHCP server).  
  
All three DCs are DNS and WINS(one W2k3 and two W2k).  
  
Oh, I can get to any computer on the network with the UNC name.  Just can't  
  
browse.  Computer browser service is on.

OMG, I hate it when it is so simple!!  
  
I turned off the computer browser service on the 2K3 DC and POOF!  
  
It works now!  
  
Thanks for the help
