Resources records - Missing....

[andries]

Please help.

Replication between my domain controllers failed.
After an investigation we found that the _msdcs _ldap _tcp _gc etc missing.

I have tried some of the suggested solution that seemed similar to my
problem.

1.)Removing and reconfiguring the DNS.

2.)I've deleted cache.dns from the %systemroot%\winnt\system32\dns
and %systemroot%\winnt\system32\config\netlogon.dns
and %systemroot%\winnt\system32\config\netlogon.dnb
Removed DNS
Reinstalled DNS
Reconfigured DNS
net stop netlogon
net start netlogon
ipconfig /registerdns

I have tried these soloutions numerous ways but to no avail.
Domain is windows 2000 sp4 in Native mode

Below I have included the reults of Netdaig DNS test

Hi Ace,

Thanks the advice worked.
Could you please send me your email address as so that I can forward you the
info.
Is there somewhere that I can read up about fixing or changing a single
label name.

Andries, seems like you have a few things amiss.

1. You have a single label domain name. That's unfortunately an invalid name
in DNS. It needs to be in the form of "domain.com" and not just "domain".
2. Use the actual IP address of your DNS server instead of 127.0.0.1. That
was probably put in there by DCPROMO and needs to changed to the actual IP.
There are some minor issues related to that.
3. If you have your ISP's DNS server in your IP properties, remove that too
and ONLY use the IP address of your internal DNS server that will host the
Active Directory domain name. Otherwise, it can cause many major issues. To
get Internet name resolution, use a "Forwarder" for Internet name
resolution, as shown in this article, Step 3:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300202
If the Forwarding option check box is grayed out, delete your Root zone
(looks like a period - "."), close the DNS console and re-open it. That
article also shows how to delete it.

Now, as for the single label name, there are a couple things we can possibly
do. There is a script available that may just fix this, but we'll need a
little more information from you to determine if it will help.

1. Can you run an ipconfig /all and please post the *unedited* results?
Thanks
2. We'll need the actual domain name as it appears in your Active Directory
Users and Computers console. Thanks
3. The actual zone name as it is spelled in DNS.
4. In that zone name, is Dynamic Updates set to at least "YES"?

Also, there is a "bandaid" reg entry that will *force* DNS to allow the
single label name if the script will not help. But this bandaid is just that
and meant for the interim until you can fix this. It is NOT recommended to
use a single label name, since more problems down the line as you expand and
grow *more then likely* occur.

If the script will not work, a reinstall of AD may be required. Not sure how
you installed AD, whether it was a clean install or an upgrade from NT4.
Normally we see this from an upgrade, but it could also have been from a
clean install without the admin doing the proper research/education of AD
before hand.

Here is the "bandaid":

300684 - Information About Configuring Windows 2000 for Domains with
Single-Label DNS Names [needs the domain.com name and cannot be
just --domain--] (Recommended to fix the name):
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300684

Looking forward to your responses to better help you out.

I replied to you directly.

About changing the single label name would depend on your configuration.
I'll be awaiting your email.
