Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / DNS / March 2006Cannot find a primary authoritative DNS server
Dear NG, any reason why netdiag is showing the following error.... [WARNING] Cannot find a primary authoritative DNS server for the name 'Main.company.local.'. [ERROR_TIMEOUT] The name 'Main.compnay.local.' may not be registered in DNS. PASS - All the DNS entries for DC are registered on DNS server '192.168.110.252' and other DCs also have some of the names registered. IPCONFIG INFO...

IF this machine is the DNS server it has no business with a DHCP assigned address. Likely it is NOT the DNS server but this (.252) address has been incorrectly configured EITHER on the DHCP server OR (more likely perhaps) on the machine itself. NOTE: A computer CAN have a DHCP assigned address and still OVERRIDE and set the the DNS server manually in its NIC->IP Properties. Most likely this is what has happened, and it has been set to the same number. In any case, if you computer is using .252 as the DNS server then that machine needs to be a DNS server -- or you must change the machine (somehow, DHCP or manaul) to point to the ACTUAL DNS server. > IPCONFIG INFO... > Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.110.250 > DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.110.252 > Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.189.251 > Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 > Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :  SignatureHerb Martin, MCSE, MVP Accelerated MCSE http://www.LearnQuick.Com [phone number on web site] > Thanks Herb, .252 is the DNS server as well as a DC, its obviously manually configured being that its a DNS and DC box >> Dear NG, any reason why netdiag is showing the following error.... >> [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > >> Thanks hi guys, ok this was just a ridicules simple issue I don't even know how I didn't pick this up before, the error in netdiag was referring to the second nic on the server which is unplugged and autoconfigured, the test was also checking the second AutoConfig nic over ip 169.254.189.251, as soon i disabled the second nic netdiag was passing with flying colors >> Dear NG, any reason why netdiag is showing the following error.... >> [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > >> Thanks |
