DNS Issues

midimike88

Hi Group,

I've removed the original server (Windows Server 2000) from our network but
didn't demote it. AD and DNS problems now.

Any suggestions?

Mike

Meinolf Weber

Hello midimike88,

Was it the only DNS server? What kind of zone did you run on it AD integrated?
Do you have a second DNS server and are the clients/servers configured to
use it on the NIC?

Best regards

Hi Group and Meinolf;

It was the main DNS server. Also, we have 4 child domains.

The structure looked like this.
oldserver.com child1.server.com child2.server.com
child3.server.com

now it looks like this
oldserver.com newserver.com child1.server.com child2.server.com
child3.server.com

I added Windows Server 2003 to replace Windows Server 2000, and then
unhooked to move to our remote office.

Remote office has serious DNS issues. It has a child DC there. So I wanted
to move old server there.

The structure at remote office

child4.server.com

Regards,
Mike

Hello midimike88,

Do you have made the new 2003 DC also DNS server and reconfigured the clients
to use it?

Meinolf and Group,

Yes, I have DNS running on it. I don't know what you mean by reconfigure
clients to use it.

Hello midimike88,

The workstations on the root domain have a DNS ip address on the NIC, either
with DHCP or fixed. SO if you take out the old DNS server you have to set
the new DNS server ip address. If you use DHCP server you have to change
the scope options of the DNS server.

Meinolf and Group,

Yes, the DHCP Server service is running on Windows 2003 server, scope is set
up for IP addresses:

x.x.x.15 through x.x.x.99

Workstations are acquiring IP addresses correctly and internet connectivity
is good.

One problem I have is that I can't join workstation to the domain.

Regards,
Mike

Hello midimike88,

You forget the client ipconfig. Also open the DNS management console on the
new server, expand the the server and check that the forward lookup zone
contains the records for the _mscds_domain and domain.
