THE CHALLENGES

Critical DNS & AD Failover Issues

Xena Technology faced major accessibility issues with their cloud-hosted ERP application that traced back to DNS misconfiguration and AD failover problems.

ERP Portal Inaccessibility

Cloud-hosted application testerp.jmf.coop was not resolving properly within the Active Directory environment, blocking critical business access.

Critical Impact

DNS Misconfiguration

Root cause traced to improper DNS forwarder and replication settings preventing proper name resolution.

Root Cause

PDC to ADC Failover Failure

When the Additional Domain Controller (ADC) was down, the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) failed to take over properly.

Failover Issue

ADC to PDC Failover Failure

Vice versa, when the PDC went down, the ADC did not respond as expected, leaving the network vulnerable.

Failover Issue

Business Impact Assessment

This misconfiguration posed both operational risks and security concerns, as seamless authentication and access control were compromised. Increased downtime risk threatened business continuity across the enterprise.
