Zone Transfers fail. Need help badly. |
|
|
I'm having a problem and need help badly. Here is the issue.
I'm running Windows 2000 Server and I have over 100 primary zones that are
Active Directory Integrated zones and all of these zones are configured to
allow zone transfers to any server.
Of these 100 AD integrated zones I have two zones that have stopped allowing
zone transfers to other secondary DNS servers in our environment.
I have tried removing the secondary zone on the secondary dns and recreating
it but when I finish the secondary zone never completes that zone transfer.
I have also re-created the primary zone prior to creating the secondary zone
and the secondary zone never completes the zone transfer. I have also
deleted the zone from Active Directory and have recreated it as a Primary
non-ADIntegrated zone and still no luck in being able to create a secondary
zone that can complete a zone transfer. Note also that it doesn't matter
what secondary DNS server I try create the secondary zone on the zone
transfer always fails. This also fails on brand new secondary DNS servers
.... the zone transfer never completes between the primary and secondar
zones.
So far I can find no errors being reported as to what or why the zone
transfer is failing and I'm stumped as to how to fix this problem. It's
almost like the 2 zones was setup not to allow zone tranfers or only
transfers to specific servers and that the configuration to allow zone
transfers to any server has failed to set properly. Note that I have tried
changing the setting specifying that zone transfers are allowed to my
secondary DNS server but I still cannot get the zone transfer to complete.
Can anyone help me resolve this issue so I can get these two zones to
perform a zone transfer? |

Hull, I replied to your private email. There is also a response in the
win2000.dns newsgroup. It would have been better if you cross-posted to both
groups instead of multi-posted. Responses would have come to both
simultaneously.

Note sure that I understand this but both zones had a CName record that had
no name (i.e. same as parent folder). With help from Ace Feley I was able
to replicate this problem by starting out with a totally new zone that quit
doing zone transfers as soon as I put the blank CName record in the zone. I
could put a blank Host records in the zone and zone transfers would continue
but not with a blank CName record.
