TS 6.0 setup - Problems with W2K Domain

IWguy

Hello,

Got a problem that is driving me a bit nuts... I know that the TS documentation says you are not supposed to setup TS on a W2K Domain Controller but they don't specify what the problems would be. Problem is that where I work, we do not use Domains for security (all Novell) so I need to setup one up for the license.

Here's what happens.

We use DHCP here at work so I managed to find a static IP address so I can use it.

1) Installed W2K Server
2) Installed W2K SP3
3) Upgraded IE to 6.1
4) Installed Active Directory (New tree, new forest) I let Windows manage my DNS settings and we do not have any NT4 machines I choose the 2nd option with regards to the permissions option in the AD setup).

5) After all the reboots, I run the tslicinfo.exe program and get all the information I need except for the domain which is "NoDomainFound".

I look in my computer properties under Network Identification and my domain name is listed there. Where am I going wrong?????

Thanks for the help!

I wouldn't worry about it - use the information returned from tslicinfo to get your license - including the NoDomainFound (or whatever)\

The issues with PDCs and BDCs was, among other things, the inablity (if I recall correctly) to have local disk accounts on such machines - and you need one or two local disk accounts for TS to work correctly.

Thanks for the info Fish!

I did what you said and after the TS install (and reboot) I went to my TS login screen. Chose Administrator, typed the password and tried logging in to the Professional GUI as Master on the domain IWGod (that's my host name)

Result: No Such User

I then opened the domain dropdown box and got the option of selection IWGod or a second one called NET_VALHALLA (I chose to call my domain Valhalla.norway.com with NET_VALHALLA as my Domain NetBios Name)

So what I did was then go into my Master.uid file in the roles directory and checked to see what users were in there.

The result was:

IWGod\Administrator
SYSTEM

I thought it was odd that I couldn't login to the teamsite server even though my user entry was in there under the domain name that Teamsite had added itself.

I then decided to put a new entry in on a hunch.
NET_VALHALLA\Administrator

I saved the file and then tried to login using the Administrator under the NET_VALHALLA domain which then worked fine.

So all in all it works but I do not think that is how it is supposed to go when you are setting up a server from scratch on a client site. I'm okay in terms of my W2K admin skills but I'm no guru (as you can see). Any inights here on what could be happening?

Thanks,

UPDATE: I uninstalled Active Directory and checked the option to "Change Primary DNS suffix when domain changes". I also a Primary DNS suffix (similar to my domain) and voila - everything was running as expected. I'll have to setup a true Active Directory environment to get down to the bottom of my problem but like Fish said, it might be with the whole running TS on a PDC.

Btw - the option I mentioned in the first line can be found in the following location on W2K

--My computer (right click and select properties)
--Click tab "Network Identification"
--Click button "Properties"
--Click button "More"

Thanks,
