It’s a common misconception that if a PowerEdge server fails to boot, doesn’t complete POST, or experiences other issues, the iDRAC will also be inaccessible. In reality, iDRAC is often still online and available to assist with troubleshooting—even if it was never configured beforehand. Leveraging iDRAC to review recent events, analyze logs, and collect a SupportAssist Collection (TSR) is critical for accelerating diagnosis and recovery.

Storage components may not be displayed, or the status may appear as Unknown after upgrading iDRAC9 firmware to version 7.20.60.50 or 7.20.70.50.

If the SYSVOL share is absent from every domain controller (DC) in an Active Directory (AD) domain, AD management consoles may give an error like this: "An Active Directory domain controller (AD DC) for the domain <domain> could not be contacted." If Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) is used to replicate SYSVOL data, the issue appears difficult to resolve. An authoritative sync of DFSR cannot be performed without the ADSI Edit console. Fortunately, the issue can be resolved by modifying the registry on the DC with the authoritative copy of SYSVOL. A different registry modification is then performed on the other DCs.
