DNS and replication problem

Hi all,

I have one Win2k DC (DC1) installed with single domain and AD-integrated
DNS. I am not sure what are the components need to be included in
forward lookup zone. I have also added reverse lookup zone for the same
domain but not sure whether I have configure correctly.

I have previously installed DC2 for replication purposes but it failed
to replicate successfully. From the log files it seems many errors are
assiciated with DNS lookup failure. Since then I had uninstall DC2 as
Domain Controller and DNS service.

I planned to do it again but was not sure what actually went wrong on
the AD-DNS.

Can anyone advise me what should I do in order for successful
replication of AD data, esp. AD User and Computers.

Thanks in advance.

Best rgds
Jack

Make sure DC1 uses its own address for DNS only, run netdiag /fix and run
netdiag /test:dns /v and look for errors.
Make sure DC2 uses DC1 for DNS and run the same tests on it.

Post back any errors with ipconfig /all (unedited) from both DCs and the AD
domain name from ADU&C.
 
Hi Kevin,

Thanks but how can I run netdiag /fix and netdiag /test:dns /v ?
Where should I download the utility as I received error
" 'netdiag' is not recognized as an internal or external command...

Sorry I am still new to AD.

Netdiag and dcdiag are part of the server support tools on the server
installation CD. You can also download them from
http://download.microsoft.com
Netdiag that is compatible with WinXP is on the XP CD in the support tools.
