Server Operator Unable to Synchronize Domain Controller (147912)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q147912 SYMPTOMS
A user account logged on as a Server Operator is able to highlight the
Primary Domain Controller (PDC) in Server Manager and successfully initiate
a "Synchronize Entire Domain," but receives "Access Denied" when attempting
to synchronize a single Backup Domain Controller (BDC) to the PDC.
WORKAROUND
To synchronize the user account database of a backup domain controller
with its primary, from the command prompt at the console of the BDC,
issue a: "net accounts /sync".
For a synchronization of machine accounts and user account information, use
the "Synchronize Entire Domain" selection in Server Manager.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server versions
3.5, 3.51, and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
