Re: Problem Adding 2nd DC to domain

You should have a xyz.com domain with the following for sure:


_msdcs sub-domain
_sites sub-domain
_tcp sub-domain
_udp sub-domain

DomainDnsZones (2003)
ForestDnsZones (2003)

The above contain the service records for your AD

Type = Start Of Authority DCxx.xyz.com
Type= Name Server (NS) DCxx.xyz.com
Host(A) = ip address of your DNS server that Holds the Dc

All your host records for your xyz.com domain

There are either problems on your current DNS that hosts your dc (You could
try netdiag /fix but I doubt this is the problem) or there is a
communication problem/configuration error. Is there a firewall problem
between the two?
