I had have 2 win 2003 dc's with DNS set up correctly on the main site. All
clients are set maually (no DHCP).

On two remote sites I have 2 Win 2000 dc's.
I have installed DNS on these two servers. When adding a forward lookup zone
I added the domain name and selected AD intergrated.

Problems:
1. A records are lost on the 2003 DNS. And it looks like some records are
slowly comming back.

2. On the 2000 DC's only the domain zone is there the Default application
directory's (_msdsc.xxx.local) have not been created nor have the reverse
lookup zones - all of which are AD Intergrated.

Any ideas why?

I have seen a DNS event ID 4515 which states that there are 2 copies of the
zone in different location in AD.

Upon following the link I found out that win 2000 DNS doesn't support 2
locations of the zone file in AD compared to Win 2003. I have deleted the
zones in the win 2000 dns servers.
So far so good. If anyone has more info please post. TIA

Your mistake was creating the zones on the remote DCs, you should have
waited for replication. Creating new zones in Win2k AD, overwrites any
existing zones in AD.

DNS was already installed on one 2000 server but it had no zones, how do you
import the zones in from AD then?

The existing servers where 2003 and I think they store the DNS info in AD in
a location that 2000 DNS doesn't recognise.

You don't import the zones, wait for replication. You just make sure the
zones on the Win2k3 server is set to replicate to all DCs in the domain. If
you change the replication to all DCs or DNS servers in the Forest, you are
putting the zone in an AD partition Win2k does not support.

Thanks Kevin,
I have checked what you said in the DNS server properties and I agree with
what you are saying. "Sometime's you can't see the wood for the trees" if
you know what I'm saying!

Cheers
