It appears after "stopping dns services" and then running
netdiag /fix it created the folders. Any idea why it
didn't work from the get go? Twice now after freshly
installing 2k server, immediately running DCPROMO did it
not create those folder correctly.

Hmm...

Shed some light!! :)

Depends on a number of things.

1. POint to your own DNS ONLY (not an ISP's). Otherwise you can see issues
due to that. Setup a forwarder to get Internet name resolution,
2. Delay in registration upon first running DCPROMO.

You can also run:
ipconfig /registerdns
net stop netlogon
net start netlogon

Two major reasons for not getting those:

Somehow your DNS server is not dynamic (should be if DCPromo
INSTALLED the DNS)
Your DC's own client setting (NIC\IP) don't point to this dynamic
server (so it can register itself.)

Restart NetLogon (or run the DCDiag /fix you did) if you change
either one of the above to fix this in the future.
