I'm attempting to run dcdiag while preping to install Exchange Server 2003 on a Windows 2000 server. When running dcdiag I get the error below.

I have run netdiag and nslookup in an effort to test DNS and everything reports ok. I'm not getting any errors in the event log for DNS. I do not replicate to any other DCs in the domain.

Any help would be appreciated.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>dcdiag

Done gathering initial info.

Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\DSS-W2KADMIN

DSS-W2KADMIN's server GUID DNS name could not be resolved to an

Most times you see this it's because your DNS servers have
not replicated yet. Make sure you are pointing to the same
server. Use NSLOOKUP to double check. If you have too
change your ip settings to only use one DNS server.
