Over that last 2 weeks I have been tasked to do In-Place Upgrades of Domain Controllers in our Environment. A few of our DCs after I run the BPA will kick off and run as if all is good to then ERROR OUT. Here is 2 examples of the error we see:
DC04: Errors occurred while running BPA scan on DNS Server, Active Directory Domain Services, File and Storage Services
An Error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 1 Position 356
DC06: Errors occurred while running BPA scan on DNS Server, Active Directory Domain Services, File and Storage Services
An Error occurred while parsing Entity Name. Line1, position 358
Could this be generated because of a Kerberos issue or another Authentication issue? How can I rectify this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
