We have made several DNS changes (a week ago) on our Operations Master. We
have 30 or so DCs (all computers are in the same site); and they do not show
the DNS changes. There are no errors in the DNS server log or the File
Replication Service log on the Operations Master or some of the DCs that I
have checked. What else can I look for to find the cause of the problem?
Thanks

Have you restarted the Netlogon service on that Operations Master?

Thanks for your reply. No, I don't think we had done that; so I restarted
the service and waited 15 minutes. I checked a few of the other DCs, and
the new zones and changes still aren't showing up.

Thanks,
Mary

Open a CMD prompt on that Operations Master and do this:

net stop DNS
net start DNS
net stop netlogon
net start netlogon

Then, wait for replication. Is the DNS zone AD-integrated?

OK - did that. Will check in the morning to see if things replicated. I'm
not sure how to answer the AD-integrated question. These are 2000 servers in
one AD domain. The new zone doesn't allowed dynamic updates. Does this
answer that question? Thanks!

An AD zone should allow dynamic updates or you will cause yourself no limit
of administrative headaches. DNS zones which have no association with an
Active Directory should not be configured for dynamic updates. I'm am not
sure what you mean by "new zone". Which are you having trouble with? The
AD zone or some other zone? You haven't provided us with enough details in
your posts.

If Todd doesn't mind me jumping in here. What Todd meant was is the zone
Active Directory integrated or Standard Primary/Secondary to check that in
the DNS console click on the folder Forward Lookup Zones, in the right hand
pane it will give the zone Name Type and Status. If they are Active
Directory Integrated Win2k was prone to the DNS island issue that would
prevent replication throughout the domain because All DC did not have their
CNAME records with their GUID name registered and replicated in all DNS
servers.

To resolve this issue, All DCs should use one DC for Preferred DNS address,
then the Alternate DNS should be any other DC preferably the closest
geographically. Then restart the Netlogon service on the DCs.

Run dcdiag /e to check all DCs in the enterprise.

Ah! Many thanks to both of you. We did have some of the DCs pointing to the
closest geographically for the Preferred DNS server; so now they are all set
alike with the Operations Master as the Preferred and the closest as the
alternate. Also, a new zone that was created was Standard Primary; so now
that it has been changed to AD integrated, it is replicating just fine. The
view was not set to Details on the DNS Manager, so I didn't even know the
zones were not all AD integrated. Thanks so much for pointing me in the
right direction.

Thanks again,
Mary
