Server upgrades at 2am are not fun

[Kremlar]

Yes.

 

[KLin]

so do them at 2pm.

 

[Kremlar]

Hmmm.

Good idea.

 

[Kremlar]

Why is my netlogon share not showing up? Why is it not replicating?

 

[KLin]

Because you suck at AD

 

[Kremlar]

I think AD sucks at me.

 

[Kremlar]

Event ID 11, Source KDC, There are multiple accounts with name host/server.law.local of type 10.

Hmmm....

 

[loup garou]

Have fun migrating your SQL Server off your DC. :laugh:

 

[Kremlar]

No SQL.

I think maybe I promo'd the new server (same name as old) to the domain too soon after demoting the old.........................

 

[drum]

What kind of bank are you making off this?

 

[Kremlar]

$1 BILLION DOLLARS

I know your pain. I've done way to many server swaps/upgrades, firewall changes, fix server crash late at night. It's not fun at all. Goodluck and I hope everything goes real fast.

 

[Quasmo]

Quit whinning about WoW

 

[Kremlar]

Demoted, unjoined from domain, deleted all instances from AD, re-joined, promoted and all is well.

Phew.

 

[tami]

next time consider renaming it

Too many login scripts and paths I would need to change, but believe me it crossed my mind.

Ouch.. may want to revisit those login scripts if simply changing/upgrading a DC will cause major problems.

Won't be a problem if I keep the server name the same.

Which, as everyone knows, is *always* the best course of action!
