After Domain Rename – gpfixup warning – Error 80070057

renamewindows-server-2012-r2

We run a simple AD (1 DC Server 2012)

We had to rename our domain name from a single label domain to: lan.domain.com

Following the step by step, all went well, until the last step (that worked perfectly in the dev env)

gpfixup /olddns:adatum.com /newdns:cpx.local

I assume the fixup didn't complete. Does that mean that the domain will/did not propogate to other clients?

  • Do I need to wait for a gpupdate?

  • What is this error about?

I want to mention, I did NOT change the netbios name for the new domain. If that has any effect.

The error I see is:

One of the functions that gpfixup performs is to rewrite any Software Installation Policy paths that refer to domain DFS locations (as those locations will change when a domain rename occurs).

It looks like something went awry when it attempted to "fix" the path in the Group Policy Object (GPO) where you install the "TeamViewer Host (MSI Wrapper)" package. I haven't seen this behavior before.

I'd go examine that GPO to see if the installation path is still correct. If it isn't, I'd delete the package from the GPO and add it again, specifying the correct path.
