Hi,
I'm trying to build a little NT network myself here, at home, and I have
exactly the same problem, so I followed your solution. My Primary DNS
server is set to 127.0.0.1, but when I restart the Net Logon service, the
records aren't replicated. Instead, I get these three Warnings in the
System Event Log...
Numbers 2 and 3 are the same as 1, only with a different description.
--- NUMBER ONE ---
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NETLOGON
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5781
Date: 14/07/2003
Time: 11:01:36
User: N/A
Computer: VOYAGER
Description:
Dynamic registration or deletion of one or more DNS records associated
with DNS domain 'home.' failed. These records are used by other
computers to locate this server as a domain controller (if the specified
domain is an Active Directory domain) or as an LDAP server (if the
specified domain is an application partition).
Possible causes of failure include:
- TCP/IP properties of the network connections of this computer contain
wrong IP address(es) of the preferred and alternate DNS servers
- Specified preferred and alternate DNS servers are not running
- DNS server(s) primary for the records to be registered is not running
- Preferred or alternate DNS servers are configured with wrong root hints
- Parent DNS zone contains incorrect delegation to the child zone
authoritative for the DNS records that failed registration
USER ACTION
Fix possible misconfiguration(s) specified above and initiate
registration or deletion of the DNS records by running 'nltest.exe
/dsregdns' from the command prompt or by restarting Net Logon service.
Nltest.exe is available in the Microsoft Windows Server Resource Kit CD.

--- NUMBER TWO ---
Description:
Dynamic registration or deletion of one or more DNS records associated
with DNS domain 'DomainDnsZones.home.' failed. These records are used by
other computers to locate this server as a domain controller (if the
specified domain is an Active Directory domain) or as an LDAP server (if
the specified domain is an application partition).
--- NUMBER THREE ---
Description:
Dynamic registration or deletion of one or more DNS records associated
with DNS domain 'ForestDnsZones.home.' failed. These records are used by
other computers to locate this server as a domain controller (if the
specified domain is an Active Directory domain) or as an LDAP server (if
the specified domain is an application partition).
What am I missing here?
And a little extra question: that would be the reason why no client is
able to locate my domain? ("Domain unavailable")
Thank you!
