Some or all identity references could not be translated

[justnwaters]

I've had several servers running successfully on this new box. But after attempting to add active directory and make it the primary domain controller this problem occurred.

 

This is what I see in the Service Manager Console

TCAdmin - The Game Hosting Control Panel
Software Version         : 2.0.115.0
.NET Version             : 2.0.50727.8766 Windows 64 bits
uPnP Port Forwarding     : Disabled
Current User             : SYSTEM

The Service Manager has been started on 127.0.0.1:56017
System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException: Some or all identity references could not be translated.
  at System.Security.Principal.NTAccount.Translate(IdentityReferenceCollection sourceAccounts, Type targetType, Boolean forceSuccess)
  at System.Security.Principal.NTAccount.Translate(Type targetType)
  at System.Security.AccessControl.CommonObjectSecurity.ModifyAccess(AccessControlModification modification, AccessRule rule, Boolean& modified)
  at System.Security.AccessControl.CommonObjectSecurity.AddAccessRule(AccessRule rule)
  at TCAdmin.ServiceManLib.?.?(ProcessController ?, Int32 ?, String ?, String ?)
  at TCAdmin.ServiceManLib.WindowsProcessController.Start2()

 

 

If I attempt to add a server the scheduler shows this error

TCAdmin.SDK.Remote.RemoteException: ---> System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException: at

Anyone have experience on how to resolve this issue to make it compatible with active directory?

Why would you even want TCAdmin to run on a server that is a domain controller?

That's asking for silly problems.

 

EDIT: After having this in my mind for an hour something came to mind.

TCAdmin makes local users, but there are no local users on a domain controller, they all become domain users.

So you might have a bit of a mismatch on users right now.

 

Tried a fresh reinstall of tcadmin on the domain controller?

 

I still advise not to mix these two up on the same machine though..

Yeah it's a test environment. I was checking behavior on a single box. But that makes sense now.

 

Now I get a new error after uninstalling:

 

Server Error in '/' Application.

So I complete reinstalled Windows Server Standard 2016 and installed the active directory service before installing TCAdmin this time. Exact same problem.

 

How do I fix this problem? There has to be a way to make this work in a domain environment.

 

There isn't any solid documentation available with exactly how this platform works. I'm just looking for someone to point me in the right direction.

Best to create a ticket with TCAdmin, if this is even supported.

 

Still wondering why would you want TCAdmin and a domain controller on the same machine? Literally just for testing?
