Q325208 - MX record !!!

[Bill Nguyen]

I got this event log error message. A search pointed me to article Q325208.
I deleted the only MX record in the DNS (on a different server) and
restarted Netlogon on other servers (all domain controller) and still got
the same error message.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

A 5774 error is normally caused by using an external DNS address in your DC
and client IP properties. If so, the easy fix is to remove them, and ONLY
use your internal DNS server. This is AD's requirements. If using an ISP's
DNS, in IP properties, then numerous errors can occur.

If you need Internet resolution, configure a forwarder for internet
resolution under your DNS server properties. If the Forwarding option is
grayed out, delete the Root zone, close and reopen the DNS console and try
again. Both of these steps are outlined how to here:

Ace;
Thanks for the tips.
It worked on machines with 2 NICs (I removed the external DNS address from
the internal NIC setup) but won't work on machines with 1 NIC and having 2
ip addresses (1 private, 1 public). As soon as I removed the external DNS
address, the machine cannot ping an external host.
In DNS forwarders, I have 2 ip addresses for my ISP's DNS's. What else do I
need to do to make the forwarder work?
Thanks
Bill

Internal domain the same name as a public domain?
Two methods to fix this:
1. Easy fix add the missing host (i.e. www, mail or whatever) to the
internal DNS FLZ with the public IP of the external host.
2. Most reliable add a delegation for the missing host giving the
Authoritative DNS servers (must use Authoritative just any external DNS
won't work)

Just from the internal NIC? You should have only your internal DNS on BOTH
NICs.

but won't work on machines with 1 NIC and having 2
ip addresses (1 private, 1 public).

That's an unusual setup. So you mean you have a private IP range
(192.168.x.x) behind a router (not a NAT) but also have public IPs along
with the private IPs on select machines and not a NAT?

As soon as I removed the external DNS
address, the machine cannot ping an external host.

I'm not clear on this statement. You removed the external DNS address and it
won't ping an external host?

Did you put your internal DNS address in there or left it blank?

In DNS forwarders, I have 2 ip addresses for my ISP's DNS's. What else do I
need to do to make the forwarder work?
Thanks
Bill

As long as you're using your own DNS in your configuration, and forwarders
are set, it should just work. I need a little clarification to understand
your topology and configuration with these IP ranges.
