missing A record on DNS Serve

[nobody]

I got 2 AD integrated DNS servers. however one A record is missing on DNS1
which is showing up in DNS 2. I need all therecords for this particular zone
to be synced and identical between the two servers and its not the same
right now. Any idea? I already have zone transfers configured between the
two servers, reload both zones and also increments the soa value. its not
working

Hello NoBoDy,

Please post an ipconfig /all from both machines. Also run dcdiag and netdiag
to check the DC's for errors.

I think i know what the problem is


here is what is happening.

I originally had 1dc

I made an image of this dc a few days ago

The image is a virtual machine turned off

yesterday I joined dc2 to the domain, configured dns ad integrated and
replication with dc1 (physical computer)

All is fine.

then i turned off the physical dc1

turned on the virtual machine dc1

dc1 does not know there is a dc2 in the domain


right now when i go to dc1 aduc, I cannot see dc2

when i go to dc2 aduc, i can see dc1


what do i do?

Should i run dcpromo /forceremoval from physical dc1?

You cannot make an image of a DC and expect other DCs to accept the DC as
part of its domain because the USN won't match what is expected. The imaged
DC will NOT replicate with other DCs.
You will need to do dcpromo /forceremoval on the imaged DC, because the
Physical DC is the only one that will replicate with other DCs in the
domain.

Is it pointed to itself for DNS and isolated from the network where DC2
resides?

Hello Ace Fekay [MVP],

Here you can see also parts of the story

And this question belongs to the postings with subject "Problem" in microsoft.public.windows.server.general
and "Missing A record on DNS serve" in microsoft.windows.public.win2000.dns
and "seized all roles - still cannot run dcprmo" microsoft.public.windows.server.general

Wow, I bet he's putting in alot of energy just to find and read all the
responses. I'll tell you what, it will require me addiditonal energy to help
him out to look for all of them, especially with different subject lines and
probably different names.



Nobody,

If only you had cross-posted to all the groups. All responses would have
gone to all the groups simultaneously and all you would have needed to do is
check one group's responses. This way we all could have collaborated
together to help you.

I guess that's a good thing. It would have been really unfortunate if it
were a prod machine. You have to be careful with Ghosting DCs. As Meinwolf
explained, there is more than meets the eye with AD with the way it works
under the hood.

I must agree with Kevin and everyone else as to not use a Ghosted DC.

Here are 14 steps to manually force remove a DC.

1) On another DC in the domain run NTDSUTIL to move the FSMO's, er seize
them! DOH. (If this is the only DC, then don't worry about it)
2) Make sure DNS is 100% solid on the working DC. (If only one DC, don't
worry about it for now, but configure it correctly before promoting it to a
new DC).
3) Make sure working DC is also a GC. (If just one DC, don't worry about
it).
4) Boot corrupted DC into DSRM, edit the registry change
HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Control\ProductOptions change the ProductType value from
LanmanNT to ServerNT. This key dictates if the machine is a DC or just a
server. ServerNT means it's not a DC.
5)Command prompt > net stop ntfrs to stop FRS.
6) Delete the Winnt\Sysvol and NTDS directories.
7) Reboot the now former DC
8) Log into the now member server. Change it to a stand alone, by joining a
workgroup (My Computer Properties, Network ID tab, remove it from the old
domain).
9) Reboot the now stand alone server.
10) If there is only one DC in the domain, skip this step, otherwise, on the
good DC delete the disabled computer account for the old, now defunct DC.
11) Now on this new stand alone machine, set the Primary DNS Suffix to the
new domain name that you want (In My Computer. Properties, Network ID Tab,
Properties, More,). Reboot.
12. Make sure that DNS is configured with the new domain name and updates
set to YES.
13. Run DCPROMO to create a new domain or join the domain/tree/forest again.
14. Reboot.
