Additional DC and DNS

[Helme]

Hello,

I already installed new AD (DC) with domain name
ilsas.com.my .During the installation the DNS server was
also installed automatically with ADI. Then I verified the
AD installation. When I opened the DNS, under forward
lookup zone there are two items one is the dot . and one
is ilsas.com.my . But when i tried to expand all the items
the _tcp,_udp,_msdcs and _sites are not there.

The problem occured when I tried to add additional DC. The
message is ilsas.com.my is not a domain controller or your
domain controller cannot be contacted. I tried to restart
the netlogon service but the problem still occured. If I
need to modify the srv record, how I'm gonna to edit it?.I
believe that its DNS problem (correct me if wrong)

I really appreciate any help and thank you very much in
advance for your help

This could be a disjointed namespace or you are not using the IP of the DC
only for DNS, post an ipconfig /all
BTW if you are going to need external DNS resolution delete the "." forward
lookup zone. I am assuming that since you did not say you could not access
the internet you have your ISP's DNS in TCP/IP properties, you must remove
them and use them only as forwarders in your DNS server.
