I recently carried out a domain rename on our domain controller. We switched from a .local to our domain name as we are planning to implement 365 very soon. Mostly everything went well with the switchover. I followed instructions to use rendom/netdom/gpfixup. What didn't work was gpfixup. When I ran these commands, they completed without errors and outputted "successful", however, it did not make any changed to the domain name/computername within GP. I ended up selecting the option to "Remove domain from this console", then I did a disk cleanup and re-setup GP under the new domain name. With this setup it had all the new updated information. I cannot execute a gpupdate.I get the following error.
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the computer name. This could be caused by one of more of the following:
a) Name Resolution failure on the current domain controller.
b) Active Directory Replication Latency (an account created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
I have verified DNS and it looks to be resolving fine, especially because the DNS server is on the same machine I am trying to update GP on, the DC. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you in advance.
The following are additional events that show up in case it helps resolve the issue.
The Security System could not establish a secured connection with the server cifs/netbios/netbios@netbios. No authentication protocol was available.
