DNS Error?

[Baz]

I am trying to set up a new 2k server on a standalone
network, but appear to have problems loggin on from
clients. Have gone through various checks from KB articles
and on trying dcdiag /fix I got this response:

DC Diagnosis

Performing initial setup:
Done gathering initial info.

Doing initial non skippeable tests

Testing server: HB\EPOS
Starting test: Connectivity
EPOS's server GUID DNS name could not be resolved
to an
IP address. Check the DNS server, DHCP, server
name, etc
Although the Guid DNS name

(56539415-50c2-4b29-a02e-ad899772dc2e._msdcs.hb)
couldn't be resolved,

the server name (EPOS.hb) resolved to the IP
address (169.254.54.166)

and was pingable. Check that the IP address is
registered correctly

with the DNS server.
......................... EPOS failed test
Connectivity

Doing primary tests

Testing server: HB\EPOS
Skipping all tests, because server EPOS is
not responding to directory service requests

Running enterprise tests on : hb
Starting test: Intersite
......................... hb passed test Intersite
Starting test: FsmoCheck
......................... hb passed test FsmoCheck

Also in the forward zone of the DNS console some artclies
report that I should see SRV files, but cannot see any. I
have reloaded DNS but this has made no difference. Also
hould the Static IP address be the same for the server and
the DNS server?

Please help

This appears to be a DC not a standalone server. The DC needs to point to a
DNS server where it can update the DNS records. The record indicated in the
DCdiag is used for replication and will not cause any issues until you try
to add a second dc.
