RE: multiple dns errors with domain controllers

Gilbert,

Have you attempted to run nslookup against the DNS server? Are there any
errors in the DNS server event log?

let me know what you get.

I'm using Windows 2003 with all the patches and service packs. I have 3
domain controllers and 1 of them is the DNS server. I have multiple errors
in the event viewer and when running dcdiag and netdiag. I think it's a DNS
issue I have to fix first before I can get the other stuff worked out. I
tried to run the utilities with the /fix but no luck. I tried to start and
stop the net logon service, also do ipconfig /registerdns, no luck. Made
sure the domain controllers are registered in DNS with SRV records and
everything looks good. I even re-created the zone. All the domain
controllers are pointing to the main DNS server for name resolution.

Main domain controller with all the roles: When I run DCDIAG I get this:

Starting test: frsevent
There are warning or error events within the last 24 hours after the

SYSVOL has been shared. Failing SYSVOL replication problems may
cause

Group Policy problems.

On one of my other domain controllers, here's what I get when running DCDIAG:
