Hello everyone,
In active directory, under MicrosoftDNS I have a couple
of entries with a CNF:31877a9a... I have run netdiag and
dcdiag and all tests have come back o.k. Also, I have
tested DNS in DNS admin and all seems to be functioning
normally. Is it o.k. to go ahead and delete these entries?
Thanks for the help

I'm not sure what they are, but why would you think they would need to be
deleted?

If it ain't broke don't fix it, you may be causing your self more problems
by deleting an object you haven't identified as being corrupted.

Actually the CNF's mean they are conflicts, probably due to changing the
same object (user, group, etc) properties from two different DCs and when
they replicated the changes, the latest time stamp will win, but the other
one gets renamed with a CNF and a GUID number. You can safely delete the
CNFs if you want.

But what concerns me is why the conflicts occured? Did an admin change the
same object on two different DCs at the same time? Are there any replication
errors in the Event logs?
