SaltLife Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) OS: Windows 2003-R2 Over view of the Domain Details: We have a single PDC environment ran within a virtual machine. This PDC also hosts DHCP and DNS This server was initially a dedicated server that was running on out of date hardware in a clustered DC environment. When this server was converted into a PDC the other DC's were taken off line sucessfully using DCPROMO. Problem: I just recently rebooted this server for standard maintenance when the DC came online the net logon service was sent a "Pause" command. Source: Service Control Manager Event ID: 7035 I immediately went into services.msc and "resumed" the service and everything appears to be working. However this seems to be a bandaid. I ran DCDIAG and the only failure to occur is: Starting test: Services * Checking Service: Dnscache * Checking Service: NtFrs * Checking Service: IsmServ * Checking Service: kdc * Checking Service: SamSs * Checking Service: LanmanServer * Checking Service: LanmanWorkstation * Checking Service: RpcSs * Checking Service: RPCLOCATOR RPCLOCATOR Service is stopped on [OZLO5] * Checking Service: w32time * Checking Service: TrkWks * Checking Service: TrkSvr * Checking Service: NETLOGON ......................... MYPDC failed test Services Any other insight would be helpful. I have read searching google that it may be caused by a GUID issue and DNS... not sure. -- Thank You Edited August 11, 2008 by ivdubvr6i Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/656298-net-logon-service-paused/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltLife Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Does anyone know how to obtain a current GUID? This is relevant to the original question. I need to determine what is causing the server to pause the service on startup.

Grogi Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Have you checked fsmo roles? There are two ways: ntdslutil or from w2k3 support tools: netdom query fsmo Check if some of roles left on second DC. If so, seize it to PDC. Ofcourse, your PDC must be global catalog also before do anything. Check that!

Okay, thanks Just checked all of the roles and it results in: C:\>netdom query fsmo MYPDC Schema owner MYPDC Domain role owner MYPDC PDC role MYPDC RID pool manager MYPDC Infrastructure owner MYPDC Which I pretty much expected. The PDC had to be functional before I upgraded it to Windows 2003 server. Which it was. I feel the pausing of the service has something to do with converting the server into a virtual machine that runs on ESX. Has anyone had any experience with this??

Whoa, you never said you upgraded anything. You said you converted a physical machine to a VM. There are no PDCs in a 2000-2003 domain. They're just DCs.

The machine was converted to Windows 2003 after I removed all other DC controllers from the domain. This was all done while the machine was a "physical" box. Only once everything was completed and working did we convert the machine into a virtual clone.
