Duplicate Domain GUID in Kaseya Discovery
KB#: KKB000990
QUESTION
Why am I getting error "Domain GUID reported by Netlogon is incorrect. Windows Active Directory issue must be fixed before this domain can be synced correctly"? Why are the Domain GUID's not matching correctly in Kaseya Discovery?
ANSWER
Kaseya Discovery checks for the domain GUID mismatch issue when it runs because it has been found to cause issues in the tracking of synced objects due to the fact that the domain GUID is incorrect in this case.
The cause is a bug in some OEM preinstalls of Windows Small Business Server (SBS). With this bug, the domain GUID entry in the registry entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY\Policy\PolDnDmG" on the DCs are out of sync with the Active Directory database. To fix it, we recommend updatingthisregistryentrytothecorrectdomainGUIDonallaffectedDCsincontactingMicrosoftsupportasper the domainarticlelinkbelow. The correct domain GUIDs can be found in the error message in Discovery.
