This server is the owner of the following FSMO role, but does not consider it valid.

Hi,

we have migrated servers from 2k8 to 2016 and the replication was working fine after the migration last week.

But from yesterday there is replication issue and am getting the below error in event logs.
I checked the schema master and naming master with below steps

  1. Type dsmgmt <enter>

  2. Type roles <enter>

  3. Type connections <enter>

  4. Type connect to server servername:portnumber of instance <enter>

  5. Type quit <enter>

  6. Type select operation target <enter>

  7. Type list roles for connected server <enter> Note: This should list who owns the FSMO roles.


they are pointing to new servers and replication was working fine until yesterday morning.



This server is the owner of the following FSMO role, but does not consider it valid. For the partition which contains the FSMO, this server has not replicated successfully with any of its partners since this server has been restarted. Replication errors are preventing validation of this role.


Operations which require contacting a FSMO operation master will fail until this condition is corrected.


FSMO Role: CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,CN={B4F5E18B-05C8-4E54-83D3-900A9BAA75EB}


User Action:


  1. Initial synchronization is the first early replications done by a system as it is starting. A failure to initially synchronize may explain why a FSMO role cannot be validated. This process is explained in KB article 305476.

  2. This server has one or more replication partners, and replication is failing for all of these partners. Use the command repadmin /showrepl to display the replication errors. Correct the error in question. For example there maybe problems with IP connectivity, DNS name resolution, or security authentication that are preventing successful replication.

  3. In the rare event that all replication partners are expected to be offline (for example, because of maintenance or disaster recovery), you can force the role to be validated. This can be done by using NTDSUTIL.EXE to seize the role to the same server. This may be done using the steps provided in KB articles 255504 and 324801 on http://support.microsoft.com.


The following operations may be impacted:
Schema: You will no longer be able to modify the schema for this forest.
Domain Naming: You will no longer be able to add or remove domains from this forest.
PDC: You will no longer be able to perform primary domain controller operations, such as Group Policy updates and password resets for non-Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services accounts.
RID: You will not be able to allocation new security identifiers for new user accounts, computer accounts or security groups.
Infrastructure: Cross-domain name references, such as universal group memberships, will not be updated properly if their target object is moved or renamed.

could someone help to fix this? today we were facing slowness in application login functionality .could that be due to replication issue?

Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to share here!
What's the result if you changed the server to a static ip address?
If there are any progress, welcome to share here!

Best Regards,

How many domain controllers? Are the old ones still available?

Hi @DSPatrick

There are 2 servers .

Yes old servers are not yet decommissioned but their LDAP are disabled.
Metadata cleanup is done in new servers

Thanks

Please run;

Dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% >C:\dcdiag.log
repadmin /showrepl >C:\repl.txt
ipconfig /all > C:\dc1.txt
ipconfig /all > C:\dc2.txt

then put unzipped text files up on OneDrive and share a link.




Dcdiag /skip:systemlog /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% >c:\dcdiag.log

SOK-24-34-26 is multi-homed so I'd disable the second adapter.
SOK-24-34-26 should have own static ip address (172.24.34.26) listed for DNS and no others such as router or public DNS (if the 10.208.40.x are not domain controllers then remove them) then do ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /registerdns, restart the netlogon service

I did not bother to look at the other files since these ones are show stoppers. After corrections if problems persist then put up a new set of files to look at.

Hi ,

Thanks for the quick analysis.

I just wonder how the replication has worked last week and why are these are causing issues now.
and we have the similar setup in DEV env and there it works without any issues.


Regards,
Rathi

Regardless, the configuration is incorrect so expect the unexpected results to continue as it is.

HI @DSPatrick ,

Sorry for the delayed response as i was waiting for infra team to send some response on this observation.

There's different company involved in Network / infra setup so i can expect that it will not happen easily.

Will keep posted here once the suggested approach is done.

Thanks
