The problem will inevitably come down to dns configuration. In order to
join the domain as an additional domain controller, the new computer should
only need to be able to locate a dns server that is authoritative for the
domain. The following articles should be helpful in helping you to ensure
that dns is properly configured.

| Hi all:
|
| I'm building a secondary domain controller in windows 2003, I couldn't
| pass the "Network Credential", error shows:
|
| >DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource
| record used to locate a domain controller for domain test.com:
|
| >The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.test.com
|
| >The following domain controllers were identified by the query:
|
| >ns1.test.com
|
| >Common causes of this error include:
|
| >- Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its
| IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.
|
| >- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the
| network or are not running.
|
| >For information about correcting this problem, click Help.
|
| I checked my primary, it has all the SRV and A records in DNS, the
| primary is working fine. It seems like I just couldn't locate the PDC,
| but PDC works fine.
|
| One thing I did find was in "Active Directory Users and Computers" ->
| "test.com" -> "System" -> "MicrosoftDNS" of the PDC, I don't have the
| "test.com" zone, just a reverse zone and the root zone. I don't know
| if this is causing the locating problem? if so, could anyone please
| give some lights on how to solve it? or if any objects in AD have been
| accidentally deleted, how to add them back in? like for instance this
| case, the dnsZone object?
|
| thanks in advance
|
| Leon
