Hi Prahalad Deshpande

Check that the 2003 Domain Controllers are not trying to replicate the DNS
zone associated to your domain in the incorrect AD partition. 2000 DC need
DNS info stored in the DC=EXAMPLEDOMAIN,DC=COM domain partition. 2003 can be
set under their DNS'server properties to replicate the zone via the
"Replicate to all DNS servers in the domain" (Moved to DNS zones to the
NC=DomainDnsZones,DC=Exampledomain,DC=com none domain partition (2000 cannot
load DNS from that partition, if it is like this on the 2003 boxes advise
before just simply changing it back. It should of been set to "Replicate to
all DOMAIN CONTROLLERS servers in the domain" (The Zone info is then stoed in
the Domain Partition. Examine the settings on all 5 DC's and advise

I am encountering a strange issue while upgrading a Win2k domain to Win2k3
domain. I have 5 Win2k domain controllers in my Win2k enterprise and in the
process of upgrading to Win2k3 domainI had to de-commission 3 of them.
Following that I added 2 new domain controllers which are running Win2k3 SP2.

I have a small tool that i use to enumerate my domain controllers. To do I
check that the UserAccountControl flag for the computer is 0x2000.

What I have observed is that when I run the tool, instead of getting 4
domain controllers(2 of Win 2k and 2 of the Win 2k3), I get only 2 ( the Win
2k ones)

Can some one tell me what is going wrong here?Has this something to do with
the functional level of the domain? I am confused!! Why aren't my other two
Win2k3 DCs being detected?

Thanks in advance for the response

Regards

Prahalad
