Hello,

I have add to my SCCM 2012 R2 (5.0.7958.1000) a new domain to "Active Directory Forests". This new domain is on 2012R2 level. 

If I run the forest discovery tasks, I have this message in the log :

ERROR: [ForestDiscoveryAgent]: Failed to save data for domain XXXX in forest XXXX due to ActiveDirectoryOperationException. Discovery will be attempted on next cycle.

I have other domain but not in 2012 R2 and it's work fine. 

Can you help me ?

Thanks

Have you specified the correct credentials to be used with this new Domain?

Yes, I have. The discovery has detect the subnet and AD site for this domain. But I have all the time this message in the log

Hi,

You could use NETMON to get more information by tracing the discovery process from site server

Best Regards,

Joyce

Maybe this in first message help you:

If you create a collection with query scan computer in specific O.U have you sucess?

Query:

select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where   SMS_R_System.SystemOUName = "nameyourOU"

In "Assets and Compliance", I can see the computer from my domain. But, if I look at the properties of the computer, I cannot see IP. But I can see the distinguised name, full domain name, etc.

Is your DNS configured correctly? Have you created conditional forwarders for the additional domain in the domain your ConfigMgr server is? Does nslookup clientindomainb.domainb.com resolve the IP address?

Yes, I can dnslookup my end client in my domain from SCCM

And there aren't any firewalls between that might restrict the traffic?

No, everything is good on the fireall.  I feel that the problem is that the domain that I have add is in 2012 R2

That being 2012 R2 isn't a problem.

Is't strange. I can see the computer, and the boundaries is populated with my subnet from the Active Directory Sites and Services. 

So, the account and the firewall is okay. 

If I go to "Administration", Active Directory Forest in SCCM console, and I click on my domain, I have nothing in the domain tab (Tabs are Summary, domains, discovery status,..).

In the ADForestDisc.log,  under my error I have 

Raising discovery success status message for forest XXXX, in which we discovered 1 site(s) and 5 subnet(s).

I meant the firewall between domainb client and ConfigMgr server, not domain controller.

The FW is ok between the ConfigMgr and domain client

Did you get this one working?

No, I have still the problem. Have you got the same error ?

Did you get a resolution on this yet? I have a similar situation where the forest is discovered but nothing shows up under the domain tab. I still get the sites and subnets but the error still shows up in ADForestDisc.log.

I have 3 child domains also and they don't show up. The domain and forest functional level is 2012 R2

Also I have additional forests that are on 2008 R2 functional level that got discovered correctly and the domains show as they should. It appears like an issue related to 2012 R2 functional level?

Here is the error again:

ERROR: [ForestDiscoveryAgent]: Failed to save data for domain xxxxx  in forest xxxxx due to ActiveDirectoryOperationException. Discovery will be attempted on next cycle.

Hello,

I have still the problem. I have found this : http://microsofttouch.fr/default/b/js/archive/2013/10/22/sccm-2012-r2-le-niveau-fonctionnel-de-domaine-active-directory-windows-server-2012-r2-n-est-pas-support-233

Wow... This is from a french MVP saying that its a known compatibility issue with 2012 R2 forest functional level and that Microsoft will fix in the next version...

Thanks for that link. At least I know that I am not the only one or its not related to my environment.

Any news on this thread? As far as I can see on SCCM SP1 CU4 - which was released in January, this issue was not on the list containing all the hotfixes....

Br,

Kim-Andre;)

No news as far as I know. The latest CU for SP1 is 5 btw.
