This past week, we brought vSphere 4 into our network. One of the
machines that we converted to virtual was our domain controller, which
was the fsmo role holder. Since the p2v this past Friday, our dc is
unable to replicate active directory info. The errors being logged in
event viewer are event ids: 1865, 1311, and 1566.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: NTDS KCC
Event Category: Knowledge Consistency Checker
Event ID: 1311
Date: 6/1/2010
Time: 3:58:55 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON
Computer: SVR00DC01
Description:
The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) has detected problems with the
following directory partition.
Directory partition:
CN=Configuration,DC=secfedbank,DC=com
There is insufficient site connectivity information in Active Directory
Sites and Services for the KCC to create a spanning tree replication
topology. Or, one or more domain controllers with this directory
partition are unable to replicate the directory partition information.
This is probably due to inaccessible domain controllers.
User Action
Use Active Directory Sites and Services to perform one of the following
actions:
Publish sufficient site connectivity information so that the KCC can
determine a route by which this directory partition can reach this
site. This is the preferred option.
Add a Connection object to a domain controller that contains the
directory partition in this site from a domain controller that contains
the same directory partition in another site.
If neither of the Active Directory Sites and Services tasks correct this
condition, see previous events logged by the KCC that identify the
inaccessible domain controllers.

One thing I found was that original nic (broadcom) was still in the
device mgr. and the IP of the server was bound to that nic and the nic
assigned via vSphere. I've removed it and will restart the server after
hours. All A.D.configuration in Sites and Services is correct. DNS is
working fine. I've restared several key services.
Server is Windows server 2003 r2 standard and the p2v was hot.
Any thoughts?
