We have a primary DNS server hosted at our main office server room and a
secondary server at the branch office. But lately it does not seem to
synchronize, because there is an old DNS host record which has been deleted

I asked a question earlier about DNS not updating. Still trying to diagnosis
this one so this is more a general question. I've looked at the DNS database

My company has a main office and a number of branch offices.  Each office
has its own AD domain in the same Win 2k8 forest.  The computers in the
network use both IPv4 and IPv6.  What should I do so that the host names of
the important servers remain unique throughout all domains ...

Here's a strange one that I only realized today..  I have my DNS server
forcing itself upon clients that are in the same subnet it is..  What I have
below is the ipconfig of my client (windows xp) on 10.65.6.x.  This subnet is
served by DHCP server 10.65.6.2(an incognito DHCP/DNS ...

Win2003 DNS question.  I'm new at this.

I have a current server 2000 domain, in which DNS works fine.
however in my server 2003 domain, the DNS forward lookup zone refuses to
fill with more than 20 results! and there should be around 4000 at least.
I wonder if there is some trust issues between the domains?

The other night we had several server A records get deleted from  DNS,
including, but not limited to, all of our Exchange servers.  The Reverse

How can I resolve my www.company.com name from inside my Network when AD
