Delegation of zones in DNS

[Frank Pusch]

Hello there,

I face a problem with DNS and the delegation of zones.



I have got a root domain (training.local) and a relating subdomain
(test.training.local).

At the beginning, all entries are made on the DNS1 for the root domain in an
active directory zone (the only DNS on the net.)



If I delegate the rights to the subdomain folder, it turns grey. Then, I
cannot see or modify the entries, nor can I see the SRV entries for the
controller.



What must I do to get the zone for the subdomain on the subdomain DC with
its DNS (2)?

The DNS 2 still points to DNS1



I can create a primary or active directoy zone, but it only has the entry
for the nameserver and nothing more.

Starting the netlogon service doesn´t help.



What can I do?

Thank you very much for your help.



Frank

If this is the only DNS on your net what DNS are you delegating the child,
"test" to?

As it is supposed to do.

That is because you delegated the zone to another DNS server.
When you delegate a name in DNS you are delegating the name to another DNS
server. On the server that you delegate the name to you must have a zone for
the name. In your case test.training.local.


: What must I do to get the zone for the subdomain on the subdomain DC
: with its DNS (2)?
Install DNS on the child DC if it is not already installed, then create a
zone named test.training.local.

: The DNS 2 still points to DNS1
This is really not relavent you can still point to DNS1, any queries to this
DNS server for test.training.local are delegated out to the DNS server you
made the delegation to, then they are cached on DNS1


: I can create a primary or active directoy zone, but it only has the
: entry for the nameserver and nothing more.

Are dynamic updates allowed on DNS two with the zone for
test.training.local?
