DNS doesn't work with neither forwardes nor root servers after each OS
reboot, until DNS service is restarted
based on DNS logs, i can say that it does not recieve responses ffrom
forwarders/ root servers for some reason.

Good Morning,
We're currently at the beginning of an eDir to AD migration.  We
currently run DNS on linux.  We've created our AD structure and enabled
a DNS zone for our AD domain.  Now we'd like to move our public DNS

If i understand it right putting more than one dns suffixes will cause the
computer to search through each domain I supply. here is my problem. I have a
computer with a connection to 2 sites, each site has a dns server and each
dns server has no record of the other dns server. So ...

I have a W2k forest with a root domain, biggroup.com and two child domains,
aaa.biggroup.com and bbb.biggroup.com. The DNS zone for biggroup.com is AD

My basic requirement:
During failover from SiteA to SiteB, I should not manually change DNS records.
I want to create multiple host records for each server so that when failover

Is there a way that we can find DNS settings of all member settings (DNS
servers' IP addresses in the TCP/IP settings of memeber servers) instead of
logging each member server to find it out?  We are in windows 2K3 and w2K
envir. and have around  250 servers.

Just recently started a new job and the company I am working at has 2 DC's
for robustness but only one has DNS running. We have no other DNS server on
site so my question is what do I need to configure DNS on the second DC and
is there a resource that can walk me through this?

Believe DNS is not properly configured.  Clients are not able to locate a
domain controller when trying to access shared folders on the servers.  Get
following response from NSLOOKUP when checking to see if one of the DCs is
listed:

I have deleted one of our DC purposly through ntdsutil. Now I want to know
that is it safer to delete all dns records like gc,ldap,kerberos & other in
