Schema mismatch...how to solve?

[Teto]

Hi all,

i've got two windows 2003 server. One is an SBS and second is a w2k3
std. The sbs is per primary domain controller. The other one is a
normal domain controller.

Event viewer is full of messages tell me replica is not possibile due a
schema mismatch.

repadmin shows:

how can i solve? I cannot demote and promote again the second domain
controller while dcpromo said it's not possbile to make a replica. So?
Thanks

SBS can be the only domain controller in a domain. Are you saying you have
two seperate domains? Or did you manage to somehow kludge another DC into
the SBS domain? Or is the 2003 Std server just a member server?

What Rod, said, plus: If you managed to DCPromo
the other DC you almost certainly created two DIFFERENT
domains (even if they have the same name.)

SBS is the domain controller. The other server is a backup domain
controller for the same domain of SBS.


Stefano

[lazyadmin]

Well there is your problem, SBS can be the ONLY DC in a SBS domain. You
cannot have any other DCs in an SBS domain, it is not supported. That is a
limitation built into SBS.

Your SBS domain is either not configured properly, or your other DC is not
really a DC in the SBS domain, hence the schema mismatch.

I would like to hear the excact process you followed
to arrange this second DC in the SBS domain.

[Teto]

So, let's start the story: I had two servers: A was a Win2k SBS and the
second was a Win2k3 stardard.

Old SBS was a DC. To make second server as backup domain controller,
following microsoft documents I'd upgraded AD schema of win2k SBS, them
running dcpromo secondo server was added in domain.

Last week, due other compatibility problems of softwares, was scheduled
an upgrade of win2k SBS to win2k3 SBS.

During upgrade I've forgot to demote SBS server from DC to PC. So after
reinstallation I had many problems with roles. To solve there problem
I've moved global catalog again to SBS server, then with ntdsutil I've
transferred roles from win2k3 std to win2k3 sbs (new server
installation).

After some days without any problem I've seen event viewer full with
messages about schema mismatch.

What documents? The standard advice or something
specific to SBS?

Once roles get improperly transferred the ORIGINAL
role holder MUST be DCPromo'd to not DC.

Random errors occur otherwise.

I do not remember the exact number of KB. Document explains how to
upgrade AD schema of win2k servers to the schema used in win2k3
servers.

So it was just the general docs for normal
Win2000->Win2003 upgrade of the domain/forest?

When you run ADPrep /Forestprep etc DIRECTLY, it
probably doesn't have the safety checks that the install
upgrade programs have.

You may have hosed it. Restore from backup?
(System state that is.)

Is the other DC really in the Domain? (Does it have
the database and DO ANYTHING as a DC?)

[Teto]

So, microsoft said:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;825782 . Event
described is correct. I can solve only using mircosoft patch?!

Lazyadmin,

This is not true. You can have 100 other Domain Controllers in a SBS
environment. The only thing that must happen is that the SBS Server must
hold all five of the FSMO Roles [ and I would check this in the SBS News
Group......I am going from memory here and that has been failing me lately
;-) ]

Opps! I thought that was not supposed to be! I thought that was one of the

I will ask again in the SBS news group. Although I am pretty sure that the

roles....

In SBS 2000 and in SBS 2003 ( about which I *think* we are talking in this
case ) you can have multiple Domain Controllers - so long as the SBS Server
is the first Domain Controller and all other Domain Controllers are simply
'additional domain controllers in an existing domain' - *A*N*D* the SBS
Server has to hold all five of the FSMO Roles ( Schema Master, Domain Naming
Master, PDC Emulator, RID Master and Infrastructure Master ).

Not sure how things were in SBS 4.5 or earlier. But there would not be any
FSMO roles in SBS 4.5 or earlier, now, would there? That was not introduced
until Windows 2000 Active Directory.

Anyway, this is just a side-note to this post. It seems like there was some
confusion as to additional Domain Controllers being the problem. Probably
not! But, I have not read every word of all the strings in this
thread.......Just reacting to the "There's the problem!" statement about
additional Domain Controllers existing in an SBS 2000 or SBS 2003
environment...

This is a common misconception. The SBS MVPs have requested that I spread
the word in here!
