I have invalid entries in the netlogon.dns in my DC caused by
incomplete installation of another DNS server in the farm.
How can I edit the netlogon.dns file on my DC.I tried changing the
extension of both the .dns and .dnb files and restart netlogon after
flushing and registering dns.But now my DC has problem replicating
with remote site DC and gives Event ID 5171 which has something to do
with RPC.Please help
I'm assuming the DC you are trying to promote is pointing to your current
DNS server that is hosting your mgdomain.marafiegroup.com Active Directory
domain zone name and not to an ISP's DNS or some other DNS server that
doesn't host your AD zone name, or other issues will occur.
On your good DC, you can simply delete the netlogon.dns and dnb files, and
then run ipconfig /registerdns, and restart the netlogon service. The
netlogon service creates this file and looks at the zone name found in the
machine's Primary DNS Suffix, then attempts to register the data in the
netlogon file into that zone name to the DNS server in it's IP properties,
that is as long as updates are allowed in the zone properties.
Make sure the A record is correct under the mgdomain.marafiegroup.com zone
for the good server and there is no incorrect IP address for it such as an
APIPA number. Look at the "(same as parent)" as well to insure the DC IP is
correct (this is called the LdapIpAddress record).
You can do the same with the new server you installed to insure it's records
get cleanly installed.
