mx record deleted?

Hi

Have a AD enabled DNS server, and an Exchange server. When I create a MX
record through the DNS manager, the mx record is deleted after some time.

This is a problem, because I need to replicated the internal zone to
another trusted domain, and therefore I need the MX.

Any hints?
Thanks

Have you been checking the box "Delete this record after it becomes stale"?
 
Hi

The option "Delete this record after it becomes stale" is default
un-checked, so sadly not the problem :(

Thanks

How did you create the MX record? Maybe the MX record was mistakenly created
as a CNAME and the system will only take one CNAME. If so, I am surprised
the system is not telling you it's an incompatible record, unless when it
replicates, the other DNS server sees it as an incompatible type record.
Remember, the when creating an MX record, you always leave the host name box
<blank>. If inadvertenly miscreated, then that may be the reason why it's
disappearing.
