SP4 and errors in DNS for Active Directory!!! >:(

[Amir]

I made a slip stream source (SP4) and installed Win2k
server.
As I promoted my first server to a DC and confirmed
installation of DNS. The proper zone was created in DNS
but it didn't get complete. I mean those four sub zones
(_tcp, _udp , _sites and _msdcs) didn't appear as they
did before. I thought that microsoft has hidden them!!!
But the domain doesn't work properly and I got a lot of
DNS errors in AD. I tested it twice but same result.
As I delegeted my subdomains to proper child domains and
installed DNS on child domain's DC, those four subzones
apear but just for the child domains.

Do you have single label domain name for eg: foo? If so, it is not a best
practice to have single label domains.
If you want still want dynamic update to work, set UpdateTopLevelDomainZones
(REG_DWORD) registry value to 0x1
