It actually IS AD integrated as the properties on the zone specify.
I CAN add the entry directly to the domain controller on site and
regularly do. I guess I just refer to our DC here at the datacenter
as "primary" since I usually make the changes there. Sorry for the
confusion.
These DNS changes are changes for websites that the ENTIRE company
uses, so it needs to get out to all of the DCs in a timely manner,
not just for a particular site location. I'm looking in the web logs
and still see people hitting the old site...and I made the DNS change
two days ago
Surely it cant be cached locally on the users PC for
that long.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'll ask our architecture group about dcdiag and see what I can find.
AD Integrated zones replication is based on AD's replication, since it is
stored in the actual AD database. If you have sites setup and the Site links
are setup to replicate at certain intervals, you have to wait for that
interval to occur.
If your sites are setup in a chain, say SiteA is connected to SiteB, and
SiteB is connected to SiteC, then for a change from SiteA to go to SiteC
will take double the time or more, depending on overlapping or
non-overlapping time schedules and time zones. This is a difficult thing to
get around. Maybe in this case you can create a Site-Link-Bridge Connector
between SiteA and SiteC to expediate replication, but it will still be based
on when the connector is allowed to replicate, meaning it's replication
schedule and frequency configured on the Site connector. No other way around
this.
