Windows Server Forum / Windows Server 2003 / DNS / July 2005AD zone deleted on Domain
We currently have 2 domains in our forest. One domain has 2 w2k3 DC's (domain2) and one domain has 2 w2k DC's (domain1). Recently someone added a w2k3 server to (domain1) and promoted it to a DC. They then installed DNS and setup (domain2) as a secondary DNS zone. The AD intigrated zone on (domain2) disappeared some how. Event logs show that it was deleted somehow. Does anyone know if this was a configuration problem by the installer or what? > We currently have 2 domains in our forest.

An administrator may have deleted it or, more likely, the creation of the secondary zone with the same name as the AD-integrated zone (DomainDNSZone) auto-deleted the DomainDNSZone zone. This new secondary zone replicated through AD effectively overwriting the existing DomainDNSZone (and records).

I would say to re-explain this in more detail, including actual names, so we can get an acccurate understanding of the true problem.

This would make me think that the zone for domain2 on the Win2k3 DC is set to replicate to all DNS servers in the forest (with Win2k3). When you added the Win2k3 DC in domain1 then the domain2 zone would replicate to it. But since you created a secondary zone for domain2 it basically removed the zone from AD. Convert the zone back to AD integrated, and leave it alone, don't create any AD zones on the other DCs, the converted domain2 will replicate back to the other Win2k3 servers without data loss. This zone will NOT replicate to the Win2k server so they have to use secondary zones.
