I have lots of DNS questions today!! I have two internal DNS servers and I
think they may be set up incorrectly.  When I do tests it appears they are
working; it populates A records and reverse ok with all the internal servers.
I have one external DNS server as well outside our ...

One of my co-workers pointed out to me that our DNS server maybe doing
something wrong when attempting to forward request to the IP address we have
designated.  To me is looks fine but wanted to run this by you guys/gals.

Someone known  another web site like www.dnsstuff.com which help to
debug dns problem.

Hi all.  Hope you're enjoying the holiday season.  K here is my issue.  This
started about a week ago.  I went to do my critical updates and was signed on
as the Administrator of the AD domain.  When I tried to get out to the
internet it just errors out (can't connect, DNS, etc.. ...

I ran "adprep /forestprep" on the Schema Operation Master (W2K DC), and
"adprep /domainprep /gpprep" on the Infrastructure Master (W2K DC).  I
promoted a Windows 2003 Server to become the first Windows 2003 DC.  I then
installed Active Directory DNS on it.  But the DomainDNSZones ...

I have just set-up a new W2K3 server and made it the domain controller.  It
has 2NICs, one set to the internal NIC, with IP scope 192.168.0.x /
255.255.255.0, the external NIC connected to our Cisco PIX as 192.168.2.10.  
The PIX then connects to the internet.

I am installing AD 2003 & Exchange 2007 for 1000 users in 2 AD 2003 sites
(750/250) using the following:
1. Set up AD2003 with DNS  - domain.net for Internal use.
2. Add a second DNS zone: domain.com for external use and MX record to this

I am trying to use DNSCMD to add a new A record to an existing domain
and I get the following error:
dnscmd dns-srv /recordadd test.com liversnap A 192.168.4.15
Command failed:  UNKNOWN        1753 (000006d9)

I have windows 2003 server with sp2.
When I try to connect thru remote desktop or map network drive, it takes
forever to connect.
Even if I am working on the server and try to click on start or any other

Network: Windows 2003
Our old domain controller was server05. It is now defunct. Our new
controller server07 seized all roles except directory services. It
couldn't seize that one. Now when I go to add a new system it tells me

My DNS server is forwarding the same request a lot times per second,
all the day.
How to discover what process is doing this request?
Thanks,

I have setup my remote office with permanent VPN connection. I deployed a
Windows 2003 server as a DC. All clients are logging in locally to that
server. I have DNS installed on that box and talking to the Corporate domain.
All corporate traffic is going over the VPN Link. ...

Hopefully this is an easy qustion for someone.  Appreciate any help you can
give me!!!
I have added a 3rd 2003 AD/DNS server to our domain, with the intent of
removing one.  AD and DNS seem to be replicating OK - no errors.  I was going

I checked my task manager on windows 2003 server and it keep showing me that
inetinfo.exe is taking 25%.
