Active Directory Error while try to see Groups?

[dalwnt]

Hi ,
I will add here 2 pictures please see links below i am getting an error when i go to the Activer directory on my DC Controller server 2003 Ent edition does anyone know why is this happening?

You need to have a global catalog server in the domain.

Please refer to this article on GC and add the GC role to your domain controller if it doesnt exists:
How to create or move a global catalog in Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, or Small Business Server 2000

Thanks

Hey, the problem is that the global catalog is already created and activated but it still shows errors..

Any errors in the event logs?

If you do a dcdiag test does it pass?
Dcdiag Overview: Networking and Communications; Active Directory

Im getting many errors at even viewer on Application:
Windows cannot query DllName registry entry for {CF7639F3-ABA2-41DB-97F2-81E2C5DBFC5D} and it will not be loaded. This is most likely caused by a faulty registration.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at Events and Errors Message Center: Basic Search.

Did you do a dcdiag?

Does it happen when you access any AD object or just groups?

What is your DNS Set to? Please can you give us an ipconfig /all.

Hi,
Did you tried runing Nslookup ? Is it able to resolve your DNS? Some thing like this.

C:\Program Files\Support Tools>nslookup
Default Server: testlab1.vmtestlab1.com
Address: 10.0.0.1

Regards

mmm im a beginner sorry.. can u explain me shortly what to do?
theres a problem because my isa server isnt able to see the AD in the sc but i can ping without a provblem..

Is this all an attempt to migrate to new server as your previous posts indicate? And if so, what process did you use to do the migration? You're asking lots of questions about errors on your server, but if this is part of a migration then you might be creating lots of threads without really telling the whole story to those trying to assist.

[dalwnt]

in fact i wanted to fix this error. Something is wrong because my isa server isntt able to see thr AD of the DC and i seee many errors in the dc server does it help if i paste the even errors here?

[djaburg]

Have you migrated already, or are you preparing to migrate?

Dave Atkin: when i type dcdiag i get a black cmd screen then it hides again..
It happens when i acccess both AD object and groups from another computer directly to the server wich has administrative tools installed.

djaburg: No i am prepairing to upgrade my ISA server but thats a secondart thing so just forget it mate... and this here is the DC server.. I have seen this errors and i am frustrated because it looks like ADAM has problems on my ISA server too but first of all i want to fix this DC server which is very impoartant to me. If u guys want to i can copy even logs and it probably can tell you something?

[djaburg]

You've mentioned several things in several consecutive threads, I'm just trying to figure out all the variables. Don't get upset, but as a person that's worked as a consultant with businesses for years, I've learned to ask questions to try to get to the core of what the issue is. Not trying to offend, mate.

[Dave Atkin]

Hi Dalwnt,

Did you open cmd and then type dcdiag?

Has there been any changes made to the server recently?

"It happens when i acccess both AD object and groups from another computer directly to the server wich has administrative tools installed" - Does it do it when on the actual Server itself?

Also, just to comment on the ISA Server, all the questions that djaburg are asking is important for finding a solution. We need as much information as possible to try and picture the problem and recommend a solution. I know it can be frustrating.
