DNS configuration in Windows 2000 server SP4

[Guest]

I have a Domain Server for which DNS configuration was done automaticaly
while configuraing the server. In this server I created all users account in
active directory and users . I can say this as application server.

Now I installed one more server say a database server and configured this
server as child to the above server and opted to configure the DNS later. Now
I am struck, please let me know how to configure the DNS manually.

Most of the time the clients are unable to get connected to the server and
logon denied. Also error as time difference exists between the client and the
server.

Please suggest , matter urgent.
Thanks

Hello hmtmbx,

First check the running DNS server, that the zone is Active directory integrated.
Then install DNS (if not done) via Add/remove programs, add/remove windows
components, Networking services, Domain name system and press ok. If DNS
is installed check that the preferred NIC is set only to the running DNS
server. If it is AD integrated, it should start automatically with replication.
You have nothing to do, just wait.

Best regards

Hi hmtmbx,

Meinolf suggested how to fix this. However I am curious: Was there a
specific reason this database server was promoted to a DC in a new child
domain? Did you application or database require it to be in a separate
domain?
