You receive a "Specified domain does not exist" or an "Adding user name failed" error message when you extend a virtual server with Windows SharePoint Services 2.0
When you extend a virtual server with Microsoft Windows
SharePoint Services, you may receive the following error message:
The virtual server was extended with Windows SharePoint Services 2.0,
but the following error occurs in creating the default site
“http://ServerNameâ€. Please correct the input and
try to create the default site again. Error: The specified domain either does
not exist or could not be contacted.
Additionally, an event error
message with a description that is similar to the following is logged to the
application event log:
#1e0046: Adding user
“UserName†to OU
“OrganizationalUnitName†in domain
“DomainName†failed with HRESULT
-2147023541.
This issue may occur if you configured Windows SharePoint
Services in Active Directory account creation mode and either the domain that
you specified does not exist or the server that is running Windows SharePoint
Services cannot contact the Active Directory directory services domain that you
specified.
This problem may also occur if you specify the Active
Directory domain with the fully qualified domain name. Instead, use the NetBIOS
name of the domain.
To resolve this issue, specify a different Active Directory
domain. Note that to specify a different Active Directory domain, you have to
create a new configuration database. After you create a new configuration
database, you cannot modify the database setting. To specify a different Active
Directory domain, follow these steps:
- Determine the name of Active Directory directory services
domain that you specified during Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Setup. To do so,
follow these steps:
- Click Start, and then click
Run.
- In the Open box, type
cmd, and then click OK.
- At a command prompt, do the following:
SharePoint Server 2003
At the command prompt, type the following lines, and
then press ENTER after each line:cd /d %commonprogramfiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\Bin
stsadm –o getproperty –pn adaccountdomain
You receive the following response in the Command Prompt window,
where DomainName is the name of the domain:<Property Exist=â€Yes†Value=â€DomainName†/>
- Remove Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 from the virtual server.
To do so, at the command prompt, type the following line, and then
press ENTER:stsadm –o unextendvs –url http://URLOfVirtualServer
- Create a new configuration database and specify the Active
Directory domain and organizational unit that you want. To do so, type the
following line at the command prompt, and then press ENTER:
stsadm –o setconfigdb –ds DatabaseServerName -dn ConfigurationDatabaseName -adcreation –addomain ActiveDirectoryDomain -adou OrganizationalUnitName
Note If you want the configuration database to run in scalable hosting
mode, add the –hh parameter to the command line.
For more information about scalable hosting mode, see the "Deployment
Scenarios" topic of the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Administrator's Guide - Type exit to quit Command
Prompt.
When you use Active Directory account creation mode, you can
automatically create new accounts for users in Active Directory instead of
using pre-existing domain accounts. For example, an Internet Service Provider
(ISP) may want to permit Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 site owners the ability to
create user accounts or to invite users to collaborate on a Web site where
existing domain accounts for those users do not already exist.
For
more information about how to install, configure, and administer Windows
SharePoint Services, see the
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Administrator's Guide. To view the
