Question

I add several computers which run with windows 2019 into existing domain. all computers are successfully joined to the domain and I could login with domain admin account for each new computers. But there are two computers are not shown in ADUC, even I couldn't search and find them in ADUC. The DNS shows these two computers. Then remove one of these two computer from domain and rejoint it back, but it still can not be shown in ADUC. Is there some way I can trouble shooting?

Hello XinJun Qi,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

1.Please open AD UC tool and reopen it and check if you can see the machines in ADUC (it should be in Computers container by default).

2.It may be replication delay or replication issue caused the problem. If you have more than one Domain Controller in your domain, please check AD replication status by running the commands below on PDC.

repadmin /showrepl >C:\rep1.txt

repadmin /replsum >C:\rep2.txt

repadmin /showrepl * /csv >c:\repsum.csv

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Hi Daisy,

I did refresh ADUC by F5 or reopen it, even I reboot the PDC. It still doesn't show these two computers. the DNS of these two computers are pointed to PDC. so ping the computers Full name is good from other computers. It has several DCs in whole network, but some of them are powered off at this moment. I went through each DC which are powered, but couldn't find these two new computers.

Regards,

Sorry, I am wrong. found these two computers in one domain controller. The replicating might have issue after power on the DCs after 180 days.
