AD Sites and Services "Site" not replicating or populating in DNS

I have multiple sites in my AD and all HAVE replicated through Active
Directory Sites and Services. However when I look in DNS under the
subdomain _Sites All my sites are there except for one "Virginia". The
Domain Controller associated with that site appears correctly in ADSS and
points to the right DNS server. I have stopped and started netlogon and
waited for replication and even ran ipconfig /registerdns so that all the
service records would show up. I am unsure why the Site "Virginia" is in
Sites and Services but not in my AD integrated DNS. Any suggestions is
appreciated. BTW all is Windows 2003 AD in Mixed Mode right now. I still
have 3 NT 4.0 BDC's In remote sites that I will be upgrading later in the
week

Thanks,
Joe
 
Check the system log on the DC for errors from the netlogon service. If the
DC is having problems registering the srv records then you may see errors
from the netlogon service that indicate this. You may also want to check
out the c:\winnt\system32\config\netlogon.dns. You should see site
specific SRV records for the DC. If the records are incorrect then you can
rename or delete netlogon.dns and netlogon.dnb then restart netlogon. These
files will be recreated when the netlogon service is restarted. Check DNS
to determine if the correct information is there.

Thanks Tim,

The problem was actually quite simple. for some reason the TCP/IP settings
on the actual adapter was unchecked for " Register this connection in DNS"
This was a server that I inherited so I just checked that setting and
everything worked "Site showed up in DNS and SRV records populated up after
stopping and starting netlogon. Thanks
