What SP level?

Pointing to ONLY your DNS server? This means no ISP servers. If using an
ISP's DNS, that will cause numerous other problems. If Internet resolution
is required, recommendation is to use a forwarder, as shown how to here. If
the option is grayed out, remove the Root zone, also shown how to here:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300202

Is the domain name a single label name or is it of the correct name, such as
domain.com and not just DOMAIN?

Are updates set to at least YES on the zone?

Is your Primary DNS Suffix set to the AD domain name? THat should be the
same name as your zone name in DNS.
