Windows Server Forum / Windows Server 2003 / DNS / July 2005Newly added zone not populating on second DNS server
I'm in the process of upgrading our domain to 2003. The forest root DC was upgraded first and the two zones (mlg.us - 238 records, ipi.ny - 34 records) within DNS appear to be fine. I'm setting up a new 2003 server. I successfully ran DCPROMO and the root domain mlg.us appears in DNS with 238 records (same as original server). When I add the ipi.ny zone to DNS on this machine I receive only 2 records - SOA and NS. No directories (_msdcs, _sites, etc...). The mlg.us domain is active directory integrated, the ipi.ny is standard primary. Any ideas why my ipi.ny zone is not populating ?

Otherwise no transfers will occur. If you just make it AD Integrated, the zone will automatically come across to all DC/DNS servers.

I setup the ipi.ny zone as a secondary and immediately it populated. If I wanted to make this zone AD Integrated do I need to delet the zone from both servers and re add it ? I don't remeber the reason why the ipi.ny zone was not AD integrayed to begin. is there any reason not to setup a zone as AD integrated if DNS is always installed on a DC ? The ipi,ny domain controllers are still running 2000 SP4, as far as I can see that shouldn't matter as long as SP3 or later has been installed.

You can just change the zone type from a Secondary to AD Integrated and it will populate immediately. > The ipi,ny domain controllers are still running 2000 SP4, as far as I > can see that shouldn't matter as long as SP3 or later has been > installed. You should bring everything up to the same SP levels. No telling some things just may not work together due to the SP differences. > Thanks Again. :-) Ace Probably better to change the primary standard zone to AD integrated first.

I must have assumed he was talking about his mlg.us domain, which is already AD Integrated. He needs to change ipi.ny as such first. Ace If the ipi.ny zone on the root DC is standard primary, the ipi.ny zone you add on the second DC should be standard secondary. Then you can configure zone transfers - see: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;816518 Doug Sherman MCSE, MCSA, MCP+I, MVP > I'm in the process of upgrading our domain to 2003.
