I got a new box and installed Windows Server 2008 R2 on it. Then made it a domain controlller, assigned FSMo roles, DNS, DHCP roles and replicated AD from old DC that I want to eventually remove. After all this done I trid to restart the machine but it just hangs there at "shutdown" stage.

Any hints?

Hi there,

Can you please tell me if the DC restarts normally with this command?

Code:
shutdown -r -t 1 -f -c "Forced Shutdown"

Tried it, but same problem. I waited for 10 minutes before forcibly shutting down by turning off power. Any particular event I should look for in event ID?

Oh well, if you can post the ERRORS you get in Event Viewer once you've clicked "shut down" I can investigate on your problem.

The only eventID (8193) I see as ERROR is in File Server:

Event ID 8193

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine RegOpenKeyExW(-2147483646,SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\Diag,...). hr = 0x80070005, Access is denied.

Thanks again!
 

Its a no go still. The box still hangs while shutting down. FWIW, I ran dcdiag and following is the output. I have changed the dns name to hide it in public. This could probably help identify the problem. I appreciate your help.

Event String:

The security of this directory server can be significantly enhanced by configuring the server to reject SASL (Negotiate, Kerberos, NTLM, or Digest) LDAP binds that do not request signing (integrity verification) and LDAP simple binds that are performed on a cleartext (non-SSL/TLS-encrypted) connection. Even if no clients are using such binds, configuring the server to reject them will improve the security of this server.

the problem seems to be clear to me... Permission's issue.

Are you sure that the registry has the correct permission? Install DHCP role on DNS may cause this problem...

I took out the DHCP role but still the problem persists. Perhaps, DHCP installation on DNS has irrevocably altered the condition? Also, am I supposed to have a separate box for DHCP? Can't they live together on the same box?



Could you explain "registry has right permission?" ?

Thanks again
 
I mean, from the link I posted before, did you verifed permissions?

Go here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\Diag

Right click on DIAG and select permission.

Make sure NETWORK SERVICE has the full control.

Once done, select REPLACE ALL CHILD OBJECT...

Mystery deepens.

Backed out completely. Removed roles etc etc..

Removed the machine from domain. Rebooted. Shuts down decently and reboots.

Joined the domain back again. Nothing else. Rebooted. Hangs at shutdown stage, after stopping services.

Any ideas?

Regards

I can bet that you have the same error on Event Viewer...

right?

Yes, I do. And that too after the doing the procedure that you suggested (....\vss\diag) However, the issue resolved itself mysteriously. This is what we did.

Disconnected the network cable. Logged in via local machine account rather than domain account. Rebooted, and this time there was no hang up during shutdown.
Logged off. Connected network cable back. . Log back in domain account. Problem reappears.

Removed the network cable and connected to a switch. Connected a laptop also to the same switch. Fired up wire shark to see if there was any network request that is causing problem. Rebooted. Clean shutdown!.

Mind you all the reboots at each stage are done twice to confirm.

Took out the switch and connected back the network cable directly like before. Reboot. Clean shutdown again. Repeated thrice. No hang ups ever. Go figure!

Best regards

What do you mean by writing "took out the switch and connected back the network cable directly"?

Directly WHERE?
