DNS Failure 2000 server

D

Danno

I have 3 servers in ADS.
server-1.mpd_server.local, server-2, and server-3.

We started having all sorts of issues and it seemed the
DNS was corrupted. It was AD DNS. I decided to wipe out
the DNS and rebuild it in the AD. When I run
netdiag /fix with no DNS configured I get the following :

DNS test . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Failed

Please help! :)

It looks like most of this is caused by the use of an underscore in your
domain name. Underscores are not a valid character in DNS unless it is at
the beginning of the name. On all your DNS servers use the DNS management
console to select the properties of the DNS server, select the Advanced tab,
in the name checking section select "All names" from the drop down list.
Then make sure that all DCs and members only point ot the DNS servers for
this AD domain, no ISP's Or external DNS servers allowed in any position.
rerun Netdiag /fix then run netdiag /test:dns /v and post the results.

Ok 1st I did what was in the the article 294328. Then
per your request I did what you said. I have now only 1
DNS server server-3 all other servers pointing to the
internal LAN ip only in DNS. I set up AD integrated DNS
on server-3. Viewing thru advance I still do not see all
the appropriate entries DNS should have. here is my
result after changing what you asked. thanks again!

It looks like most of this is caused by the use of an underscore in your

Then make sure that all DCs and members only point ot the DNS servers for
this AD domain, no ISP's Or external DNS servers allowed in any position.
rerun Netdiag /fix then run netdiag /test:dns /v and post the results.




.

Also when i look at the nameserver tab, the name is there
but IP shows unknown and will not resolve. Upon trying to
reolve i get : an ip address associated with the given NS
record can not be found

I have 3 servers in ADS.
server-1.mpd_server.local, server-2, and server-3.

We started having all sorts of issues and it seemed the
DNS was corrupted. It was AD DNS. I decided to wipe
out the DNS and rebuild it in the AD. When I run
netdiag /fix with no DNS configured I get the following
:

Somewhere there is still DNS entries that are not in the
DNS. When I try to re-add the DNS, I do not get all the
LDAP entries etc. you see via the advanced tab.

Please help! :)

It looks like most of this is caused by the use of an
underscore in your domain name. Underscores are not a
valid character in DNS unless it is at the beginning of
the name. On all your DNS servers use the DNS management
console to select the properties of the DNS server,
select the Advanced tab, in the name checking section
select "All names" from the drop down list. Then make
sure that all DCs and members only point ot the DNS
servers for this AD domain, no ISP's Or external DNS
servers allowed in any position. rerun Netdiag /fix then
run netdiag /test:dns /v and post the results.

Ok 1st I did what was in the the article 294328. Then
per your request I did what you said. I have now only 1
DNS server server-3 all other servers pointing to the
internal LAN ip only in DNS. I set up AD integrated DNS
on server-3. Viewing thru advance I still do not see all
the appropriate entries DNS should have. here is my
result after changing what you asked. thanks again!

I followed the directions up to the point:
Under Forward Lookup Zones in the console tree, expand
Your Domain Name, expand MSDCS, and then click the GC
folder.
On the Action menu, click New Host.
In the Name box, type the name of your server as the DNS
computer name for the new host.
In the IP address box, type the internal IP address of
your server.
As an option, select the Create associated pointer (PTR)
record check box to create an additional pointer record
in a reverse zone for this host, based on the information
that you entered in the Name box and the IP address box.
Click Add Host to add the new host record to the zone.
Right-click Your Server, and then select Update Server
Data Files.

There is nothing under my forward lookup zone with MSDCS,
LDAP, etc...I know it is suppose to be there, but I think
this is my whole issue. So I can not complete the
directions due to that. Any idea? When I create a new
zone all i get is the zone name, soa record, and ns
record.

Ah, what is the exact name of your Forward Lookup zone?
What is the Domain name in AD Users & Computers?
What is the Primary DNS Suffix in your ipconfig /all?
Is "Allow dynamic updates" set to "Yes"

Danno

forward lookup zone is mpd_server
domain is mpd_server.local
dynamic updates is yes
