Changed server IPs, getting errors.


Recommended Posts

I split my network into multiple VLANs putting all the servers into a VLAN and clients on to a separate VLAN.

 

I have changed the server IPs to reflect this.

 

My main DC is 2008 which I am slowly migrating to a new 2012 r2 server, which is currently the secondary DC.

 

Everything seems OK except from the Group Policy Management Console on the 2012, when loading it says:

 

"The specified domain controller cannot be contacted"

 

I can select the Master manually but then I get a different error:

"The RPC Server was unavailable"

 

Most google results relate to firewall issues, however the Windows Firewall is disabled on both servers.

 

2012 server is a VM.

.. I have also noticed I can't access it remotely, I need to go through Hyper V Manager on the host.

 

Any ideas?

And what do you have in your AD.. Why did you split them to different vlans?  And your not firewalling between the segments?  What is doing the routing between your segments?

 

Can you give us details of what is routing and what your segments are?  Do you have dns on both servers?  What does dcdiag say ?  https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731968.aspx

^ Exactly -- think maybe they just changed the address space and running both over the same physical network.  Or did they just say lets use 192.168.0.1-254 for clients and 192.168.1.1-254 for servers in our 192.168.0.0/23 ??  Details will help us help you.

Because we are coming away from our local authority network and had it reconfigured as a result.. we now have multiple VLANs: servers, printers, wireless APs, finance, workstations.

 

Firewall was just disabled for testing.

Yes DNS is on both servers.

Seems like some permission errors? Maybe unrelated to the networking changes? It is strange this only happened after network changes, these errors weren't present previously.

Well you might be getting access denied because of dns problems pointing to old IPs, etc..

 

Validate dns with dcdiag..  As to firewalls - not talking software firewall.. What is actually routing between your segments?  A layer 3 switch?  Router/Firewall distro, hardware router?

As budman stated you are probably missing something, a dns entry on your network adapters possibly.   may need to run a ipconfig /registerdns to force an immediate update to dns. 

 

If you have internet access, I would be more than happy to look at this for you.  open up a teamviewer session (go to teamviewer.com) and pm me the id and password.

Can you access other VMs on your Hyper-V host remotely? 

 

Yes they seem ok.. We have 3 VMs on the server, one of them is the domain controller which is the only one I am having trouble from.

I am off site now but will give it a go tomorrow.. If I need help I will send you team view details in PM, thanks for the offer.

    • What do you expect? Windows 11 is still in BETA. This is Windows 10 all over again. M$ doesn't hire people to do BETA testing anymore. They just let all the dumb sheep with FOMO do all the BETA testing for them. It's the same dumb sheep who use self-checkout at the store and do someone else's job for FREE! All while the worker who's getting paid just stands there and watches them. 🤣 🤡
    • Pet peeve: Microsoft using scaling options to get around the fact they removed font size settings, as if that's somehow acceptable to do. Thankfully third party apps still can adjust font sizes just fine, even though it often randomly resets on OS updates. And the funny thing is that not only are the scaling options horrible crutches, but they only work in some applications. And, ironically enough, even some apps from Microsoft themselves have hardcoded tiny fonts in certain dialogs in them. Example - certain parts of MS Office apps UI.
    • Unofficial script does the most useful official Windows 11/10 repairs you want automatically by Sayan Sen IT admins and system admins, and even home users have to run various Windows diagnostic runs from time to time in order to iron out or work around system problems. Last year, Microsoft published a guidance piece about various such native Windows apps, tools and utilities they include the like of Task Manager, Registry Editor, and more. Aside from them, Windows also comes with SFC (System File Checker) and DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) to scan and fix corrupt and missing system files. Besides those, various other ways to help and diagnose network issues related to DNS (Domain Name System), among others, also exists. In order to save time running these, a Reddit user has created a new tool that automates all of these into a single package. The author writes that the Batch script (.BAT file) they have developed is "basically a one-stop script that can help clean up your system, run built-in diagnostics, fix common network issues, and generate system reports." The script is based on native Windows tools like netsh, ipconfig, systeminfo, among others, and the idea behind this is essentially to save time. The tool can be of help with Windows Update repairs, among others, something we all know is pretty common, and even Microsoft's own support articles may not prove to be helpful. Here is everything the utility can do for you: Run SFC, DISM, CHKDSK from a single menu Restart network adapters with auto-detection Flush or set DNS (Google, Cloudflare, or custom) Windows Update repair (resets services + cache) Generate system reports (saved as .txt files on Desktop) Show installed drivers Clean up temp files Registry backup and restore (manual) The latest version of the utility is now available for download on GitHub. The new version fixes issues related to admin privileges. As the script requires it to be run as an admin, it now restart itself to work in admin mode even if a user forgot to run it as an administrator. To download it, head over to its GitHub page here. The utility is named Windows Maintenance Tool. As always, though, make sure to back up your PC as this is an unofficial third-party app, and it's better if you test it first in a VM.

    • Come the hell on, do we need clickbait titles? "Overwatch 2" - 11 characters "a popular multiplayer hero shooter" - 34 characters What's the purpose here - delivering news or titles for clicks? I think we all know the answer. You're straying into "Number 7 on this list will SHOCK you" territory and while it may work on some crappy sites, this is why they are crappy sites. Just tell the story! Go back and look at popular articles that made Neowin what it was. Did they have headlines of "New OS from major technology conglomerate has astonishing new feature" or is it likely to tell the story succinctly and then elaborate within the content?
    • You can now generate video clips with sound using Veo 3 in Google Vids by David Uzondu Last month, we reported that Google was adding its Veo 2 video generation model into the Google Vids editor. The company has now followed that by rolling out its latest Veo model, Veo 3, which was unveiled at I/O 2025 and went viral recently for its shockingly realistic clips. The main addition this time is the ability to generate both video and synchronized audio directly from a text prompt. Anyone with a compatible Google Workspace plan can now generate 8-second clips right inside a Vids project. You find the "Generate video" icon in the editor, pick Veo 3, and then type out what you want to see and hear. Google's examples include things like a spokesperson delivering a line for a product demo or an employee giving an intro to a safety video. The model is good enough to generate dialogue that actually syncs with the character’s lips. Once you create a clip, you can just insert it into your video. And, if the audio it spits out is garbage, you have the option to mute the clip. The generated clips are currently capped at 720p resolution and run at 24FPS, a far cry from the 4K potential Veo 3 has as a standalone model. Still, getting functional audio generation built-in is a huge step. This native sound capability is what really sets it apart from competitors like OpenAI's Sora, which primarily generates silent videos. Google began pushing out the feature recently, but do not worry if you do not see it immediately in your account. The company is doing a gradual rollout that can take up to 15 days to complete, so your access will depend on which wave your account is in and whether your company's admin uses the Rapid or Scheduled Release track. Access is fairly widespread for paying customers on Google Workspace, including those on Business Standard and Plus, as well as Enterprise Standard and Plus plans. It is also available for Essentials, Nonprofits, and even the lower-tier Business Starter and Enterprise Starter plans. For now, the AI generation only understands prompts in English, and all videos are invisibly watermarked to identify them as AI-generated.
