I have 15 child domains in my AD forest.  When using IAS (Nortel
VPN) as a Radius server on my root AD server, I can get clients to successfully
authenticate against all domains but 2.  On these two domains, I get an IAS
event id error of 5052, ˜There is no domain controller available for
domain SWSNM™.  I™ve ran DCDIAG and NETDIAG against these domain
and the tests passes.   How does IAS locate domain controllers for
authentication?  How can I troubleshoot this?

DC's are located by querying DNS.  Check and make sure the proper
SRV records for the two domains in question appears on the server that your IAS
is using for DNS.  DNSLint may help you with this task.

I ran DNSLint and it returned SRV records
for all DC™s in that domain.  I also ran ntdsutil to do a metadata
cleanup of any possible orphaned server an noticed that I get the following RPC
error when trying to connect to one of the existing DCs: ˜DsBindW error

Are members in those 2 domains having UPN
suffix no in the namespace of the forest root ?

Example:

Forest root suffixes: @company.net

Child suffixes: @child.forest.com



Are the users trying to logon using UPN or
domain\samaccountname ?

Have you tried implicit Kerberos principal
(samaccountname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)


IAS is rather touchy when it comes to
mapping UPNs to correct domains¦

You can also enable IAS debugging by
issuing on the IAS server:

netsh ras tracing * ENABLED



You will find detailed logs at %SystemRoot%\Tracing

Sorry, that should be:

netsh ras set tracing * ENABLED

Also take a look at the authentication flow
over here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/2000/server/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url="">

(it's W2K specific, but from my experience
is not different from W2K3)

It will help you correlate the logs with what
is going on.



The error you are getting is quite generic
“ several times I have seen IAS trying to look for a non-existing domain (based
on incorrect mapping of user account to account's domain) and resulting in this
exact error.

Remember that IAS receives a RADIUS
authentication request, which (depending on the auth method: MSCHAPv2, EAP-TLS,
PEAP, PAP, CHAP, etc¦) might have the user/account pair in different
forms. The result is that IAS needs to apply additional logic to figure out the
account's domain.



Have you tried to authenticate with UPN or
Kerb principal instead of domain\username ?

Well, first, we get this error stating that
IAS could not find any DC for the specified domain:



Event Type:       Error

Event Source:    IAS

Event Category: None

Event ID:           5052

Date:                11/18/2005

Time:                9:44:29
AM

User:                N/A

Computer:         SWSAD1

Description:

There is no domain controller available for domain SWSNM.



Then, this is the next error for the
username in UPN form:



Event Type:       Error

Event Source:    IAS

Event Category: None

Event ID:           3

Date:                11/18/2005

Time:                9:44:29
AM

User:                N/A

Computer:         SWSAD1

Description:

Access request for user gstest-nm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx was
discarded.

 Fully-Qualified-User-Name = SWSNM\gstest-nm

 NAS-IP-Address = 10.10.15.11

 NAS-Identifier =

 Called-Station-Identifier =

 Calling-Station-Identifier =

 Client-Friendly-Name = v1.domain.com

 Client-IP-Address = 10.1.1.11

 NAS-Port-Type = Virtual

 NAS-Port = 5765

 Proxy-Policy-Name = Use Windows authentication for all
users

 Authentication-Provider = Windows

 Authentication-Server =

 Reason-Code = 6

 Reason = The server is unavailable.



I need to figure out why the IAS can™t
find the DC™s.  All the DNS entries are correct, DCDIAG, NETDIAG
& DNSLint all come out clean.  Just doesn™t make any sense.

Sorry, that should be:

netsh ras set tracing * ENABLED

Also take a look at the
authentication flow over here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/2000/server/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url="">

(it's W2K specific, but
from my experience is not different from W2K3)

It will help you
correlate the logs with what is going on.



The error you are getting
is quite generic “ several times I have seen IAS trying to look for a
non-existing domain (based on incorrect mapping of user account to account's
domain) and resulting in this exact error.

Remember that IAS
receives a RADIUS authentication request, which (depending on the auth method:
MSCHAPv2, EAP-TLS, PEAP, PAP, CHAP, etc¦) might have the user/account
pair in different forms. The result is that IAS needs to apply additional logic
to figure out the account's domain.



Have you tried to
authenticate with UPN or Kerb principal instead of domain\username ?

The problem is the IAS
server cannot find any DCs in those domains.  Also, I get the following
error with the netsh command:



C:\>netsh ras tracing
* ENABLED

The following command was
not found: ras tracing * ENABLED.

Are
members in those 2 domains having UPN suffix no in the namespace of the forest
root ?

Example:
Forest root
suffixes: @company.net

Child
suffixes: @child.forest.com



Are the
users trying to logon using UPN or domain\samaccountname ?

Have you
tried implicit Kerberos principal (samaccountname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)


IAS is
rather touchy when it comes to mapping UPNs to correct domains¦

You can
also enable IAS debugging by issuing on the IAS server:

netsh
ras tracing * ENABLED



You will
find detailed logs at %SystemRoot%\Tracing

No
replication errors at all.  Directory Service logs are clean.

Hmm...  Any replication problems
with those servers in the past (or currently)?  Any Kerberos errors?

I ran
DNSLint and it returned SRV records for all DC™s in that domain.  I
also ran ntdsutil to do a metadata cleanup of any possible orphaned server an
noticed that I get the following RPC error when trying to connect to one of the
existing DCs: ˜DsBindW error 0x6ba(The RPC server is unavailable.)™

DC's are located by querying
DNS.  Check and make sure the proper SRV records for the two domains in
question appears on the server that your IAS is using for DNS.  DNSLint
may help you with this task.

I have 15 child domains in my AD
forest.  When using IAS (Nortel VPN) as a Radius server on my root AD
server, I can get clients to successfully authenticate against all domains but
2.  On these two domains, I get an IAS event id error of 5052,
˜There is no domain controller available for domain SWSNM™. 
I™ve ran DCDIAG and NETDIAG against these domain and the tests
passes.   How does IAS locate domain controllers for
authentication?  How can I troubleshoot this?
