Is that temp DC multihomed? (multiple NICs)?

can you explain more how your infrastructure is setup?

Okay, first -- what's a GC? DDNS?

Here's some more info:

I believe you're right and the problem is in my DNS setup.



When I try to ping [MY_DNS_SERVER] from an XP Professional workstation on
the domain, I get a reply from my external [internet] IP address, not
from the internal address [192.168.0.11]. I can't recall if it was like
this before.



When I ping 192.168.0.11 from this workstation, I get a reply from
192.168.0.11, which is what I expect, however, when I do the same thing
on the new temp server, I get this:



[mydomain]

Primary name server - NS1.WORLDNIC.com

responsible mail addr = namehost.WORLDNIC.com





When I do ping [MY_DNS_SERVER_NAME] from my new temp server, I get the
following:

Address [my EXTERNAL IP address].



...

Which is pretty confusing to me.





On the new server (192.168.0.11), I have the DNS entry in the TCP/IP
setup pointing to 192.168.0.11. In the DNS setup, I have the forwarding
pointing to two DNS servers at my ISP.



On both the new temp server and the workstations, the DNS entry in the
TCP/IP setup points to 192.168.0.11



Oh yeah, on the DNS server, I have the following in my event log:



The DNS server was unable to connect to the domain naming FSMO
viking.befumo.com. No modifications to Directory Partitions are possible
until the FSMO server is available for LDAP connections. The event data
contains the error code.

(Viking was the name of the original domain controller, which has now
been rebuilt and renamed)



Any hints?

make sure DDNS is enabled (preferrably secure) and also make sure the
TEMP DC is a GC!

Enable DDNS on the zones (unsecure)
make it a GC
net stop netlogon and net start netlogon
Enable DDNS on the zones (secure)

does that temp DC have DNS installed? Does it host the DNS zone for
the AD domain? Make sure the temp DC points to itself for DNS. That
way it will register the SRV RRs

My problem is with a Windows 2003 installation, but this is the
closest newsgroup I could find. Here's the issue:

My 2003 Server (active directory) domain controller was experiencing
some difficulties, and when it became clear that it was going to have
to be rebuilt, I put a second machine on the network, installed
active directory, and configured it as another domain controller on
the original domain. My thought was that I could then rebuild the
first machine, repeat the process, then take the temporary machine
off line without losing the domain setup.

The rebuilt machine joined the domain without a problem, but when I
try to install active directory on the existing domain, I get the
following error:

An error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV)
resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain
befumo.com.

The error was: "No records found for given DNS query."
(error code 0x0000251D DNS_INFO_NO_RECORDS)

Is there any way to get where I want to go from here, or am I going
to have to bite the bullet and create a whole new domain?

Thanks.

Joe
