Hi,
I am try to remove the child domain by using dcpromo. I got the error
with "Active Directory could not transfer the remaining data in
directory CN=Schema, CN=Configuration, DC=Virsa, DC=local to domain
controller us.home.local" with "The DSA operation is unable to proceed
because of a DNS lookup failure." I go to Active Directory Sites and
Services to replicate child DC with root DC and get error as "The
following error occurred during the attempt to contact the domain
controller VSINDDC1: the RPC server is unavailable. I am not sure it is
DNS, active directory or RPC problem. I will be appreciated your
information and help.

Thank you in advance,

Johnny Chow
 
Thanks, it is very good brief article. I delete everything on forward
lookup zone. I do ipconfig /registerdns and restart net logon services
then it automatically populate all fields such as mstc, gc and etc. The
problem goes away.

Thank you again,
JC
 
Glad that worked for you.
Good luck,
Chris
