Re: DNS help

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Hi - Thanks for the reply again - I was posting from a work friend's PC btw
hence the different posting name.

Anyway.

We have 2 DNS servers - they replicate to each other.
I just noticed I got some IP addresses wrong in my original text as well.

Anyway..
Therefore i guess all DNS zones are on the same DNS server?

I'm not sure what to describe. The DNS has all of our subnets for our
reverse lookup zones.
We have some forward lookup ones. There are various ones in here that people
in the past have made that make no real sense.
It seems we have a company-name.com one. In there all the main records are.

Let me know exactly what i need to post up and i will.


Thanks
Michael.

Thanks.
Are the DNS zone's for both domains stored on the same DNS Server? Can you
explain the DNS Infrastructure in more detail?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.


Yes domainA is the first domain we had. Not sure what you call this. Like
the main or root one - or top level? DomainB is another domain within the
same forest.

The trust is two way between both domains.

I don't understand the Forest Application Partition that you mention? The
domainB is all Win2000.
If you let me know how i can find this out i will post it.


ANY help or suggestions would be greatly welcomed. I'm happy to post any
tests/outcomes that might help.

Michael.

Hello
Is DomainA and DomainB within the same forest? are you using the Windows
Server 2003 Forest Application Partition to host the DNS data? It looks
like a permission issue, or a zone issue.

Hi, (Creating a new post to join together my old ones and ask new
qestions)

I'll try and describe my setup first before asking the questions. I've
recently set up sites and subnets as well (was nothing before).


SiteA
DomainA GC1 - Has DNS role - 10.97.100.1
DomainB GC1 - Is on the DMZ ip range and is an e-mail hosting server -
192.168.1.15 - SSterm01
DomainB GC2 - On DMZ and is terminal server - 192.168.1.15 -
SStaspmail01
Some server not a GC - WINS server - also have another one -
10.99.100.65 and 66

SiteB
DomainA GC2 - Has DNS role - 10.99.100.10

Now. Few things wrong. No WINS server at siteB. I'm ok with that for
now. My problem is domain B.
NETDIAG /FIX brings up problems. All DNS related. Now both DCs in
DomainB point to 10.97.100.1 which is my DNS server on the other
domain.
I've had someone check all firewall rules and aparently everything
should be getting through ok. The default gateway seems to block things
but that is the firewall. Apparently this will never allow anything
through hence the fails before.

Here is my copy/paste of my latest errors from netdiag:

Can anyone shed some light on what to check next? Spent all day looking
at this today and just can't see why either of these servers in DomainB
cannot contact the DNS server in DomainA.


Any help greatly appreciated. I'm quite lost now.
Thanks Michael.
