If the servers would be mapped to a newly created DNS and
IPCONFIG /RegisterDNS is run on each server would this
also create the nec. Netlogon, LDAP and SRV records
within the DNS? Would all the clients need to be rebuilt?
Btw - After applying MS single domain fix I ran
IPCONFIG /RegisterDNS on the servers. They were still
mapped to the original DNS server and nothing was
populated in the database. Could this be b/c the DNS was
corrupt?
