DCPromo will not add DC to AD Domain

[Guest]

I am trying to add a DC to an active Directory domain. When I run DCPROMO I get the DNS lookup error. I have reviewed all the documents that teh error points to and the only problem I can see is that on my DNS server there are no SRV records. There is only one server in teh current AD. I cannot figure out how to add teh SRV records into DNS like they should be and I just cannot delete the DNS setup and start over. I believe that this is somehow related to the problem but not sure on how to fix or where to turn.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Hi Will-

My 1st question is what DNS are you running? BIND or MS? If BIND what
version?
