I recommend to make the zone active directory integrated if itīs primary,
TCP/IP DNS Settings have to be set to this the server running dns on the
addinational server you try to promote.

> I installed a new Windows 2003 server(named SV1) as a domain controller
with Active Directory.   An internal domain name was used "Burbank.local"
instead of the public domain name(Burbank.com).  DNS service was also
installed on the server and the server itself was configured as a primary
DNS server.   After that I tried to install a second Windows 2003
server(named SV2).  However, it could not find the the first domain
controller.  On the SV2, I could ping SV1 successfully.   However, I failed
to ping either SV1.Burbank or SV1.Brubank.local  .    As I open the DNS
service on SV1, I saw only the" _msdcs" folder instead of the four of
"_msdcs, _sites, _tcp, and _udp" folders.   Is it normal for the
domain.local type of internal domain name configuration?    I'm frustrated
why I cannot ping to the full computer name with domain name suffix.
Actually, I don't know the computer name suffix supposed to be SV1.Burbank
or SV1.Burbank.local  .    Please help!
