DNS Issue

P

paul carruthers

I have a domain. Its called "Domain" - please note the lack of .com
etc

I have two servers. PDC and BDC. Both running Win2k Server with Sp4
installed.

PDC ( 192.168.1.12 ) has DNS running for a domain called "Domain". I
have it running in Active Directory mode - with all updates allowed.
Reverse dns is the same.

However NTFRS is failing to sycn PDC and BDC. Running dcdiag /fix
points the finger straight at the DNS ( See below ). I have setup a
registry key on both PDC & BDC due to my domain name
"UpdateTopLevelDomainZones" = 0x1 to
"HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\DnsCache\Parameters"

I found this on eventid.com

Any ideas ?

As your domain name does not have a suffix you should follow the extra
configuration steps in this article.

Thanks Simon,

Unfortuantely thats exactly what I have already applied to my DC's.

Both have since been rebooted but I still get the same event logged.
dcdiag /fix reports the guid based dns name isnt registered.

As part of a debug I have stripped both DC's to use just the one DNS
server. I have deleted and recreated its zone.

What I do find interesting is :
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ipconfig /registerdns

Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Error: The system cannot find the file specified.
: Refreshing DNS names

Now - I was expecting a error but not that sort of error. MS knowledge
base 266319 reports you need to start the dhcp client - although I
am using a static ip. Re running the ipconfig I know get :

"Registration of the DNS resource records for all adapters of this
computer has b
een initiated. Any errors will be reported in the Event Viewer in 15
minutes."


This has resolved the issue on one main DC - so I am winning !
