DNS Issues with Windows 2000 DC and DNS

A

Amanda

I am currently running Windows 2000 SP4. It is a Small Business Server with
Exchange, DNS, and DHCP. DNS is Active-Directory Integrated. My domain name
is a single-label domain name "NE". And my PDC is named Thomas. For some
reason I am getting error messages indicating that my other DNS servers and
itself cannot verify the DNS registration for my PDC "Thomas.NE". I really
think this is causing several problems. One being no communication between a
recently installed domain controller. Below is the error message in a
"NETDIAG" DNS test:

209.115.209.134 and 209.115.208.144 are external IP's on Thomas for hosting
mail and DNS. 10.0.0.15 is another AD integrated DNS server, 10.0.0.3 is a
secondary DNS server.

Verify DNS registration:
Name: thomas.NE
Expected IP: 10.0.0.4
Server 10.0.0.15: ERROR_NO_MATCH
Wrong IP in DNS: 209.115.209.134 209.115.208.144
Server 10.0.0.3: ERROR_NO_MATCH
Wrong IP in DNS: 209.115.209.134 209.115.208.144
Server 10.0.0.4: ERROR_NO_MATCH
Wrong IP in DNS: 209.115.209.134 209.115.208.144
Server 209.115.208.144: ERROR_NO_MATCH
Wrong IP in DNS: 209.115.209.134 209.115.208.144
Server 209.115.209.134: ERROR_NO_MATCH
Wrong IP in DNS: 209.115.209.134 209.115.208.144
[FATAL]: The DNS registration for 'thomas.NE' is incorrect on
all DNS servers.
Check the DNS registration for DCs entries on DNS server '10.0.0.4'

Then I get these messages for these 2 records for evey DNS server. I don't
know if it has something to do with "NE" and "NE." Is the missing period the
issue. How do I fix this problem. It is causing so many little headaches....
and who knows what other problems

********** * ********** * ********** * ********** * ********** *
* CHECK NAME NE. on DNS server 10.0.0.4
********** * ********** * ********** * ********** * ********** *

The Record is different on DNS server '10.0.0.4'.
DNS server has more than one entries for this name, usually this means there
are multiple DCs for this domain.
Your DC entry is one of them on DNS server '10.0.0.4', no need to
re-register.

+------------------------------------------------------+
The record on your DC is:
DNS NAME = NE.
DNS DATA =
A 10.0.0.4

The record on DNS server 10.0.0.4 is:
DNS NAME = NE
DNS DATA =
A 10.0.0.4
A 10.0.1.6
A 209.115.209.134
A 209.115.208.144
A 10.1.0.6
A 10.1.0.2
A 10.1.0.15
