Welcome to the community.<\/p>\n

Are your domain controllers actually replicating?<\/p>\n

What does repadmin /showrepl show?<\/p>\n

Does dcdiag /e /v run without errors?<\/p>\n

Are you giving out both 192.168.1.9 and 192.168.1.12 to the clients for DNS (and nothing else)?<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"datePublished":"2024-10-16T06:27:11.624Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/adc-not-working-properly-and-appears-some-problems/1130540/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"PatrickFarrell","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/PatrickFarrell"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
