Re: DCDIAG DNS Failure



Hi

Can you describe a little more about network config:

-Did you monitored the exchange (Memory,CPU,DISK,SMTP Queues,virtual
memory,etc)?
-Exchange configuration (NIC Properties).
-Existent DNS servers and its configuration.
-How the mail is being delivered to Exchange.
-DNS structure.
-Etc.

I suspect that DNS issues are causing me to have email messages arrive
hours
or even a day late. It does not happen all the time, but does I have
confirmed the problem. I ran dcdiag /test:dns and received the output
below.
I am able to successfully query other domains, and everything appears to
be
functioning fine. I'm not sure why the test is failing or what caused it.
Without the sometimes slow mail delivery, I would not even know there was
a
problem. Any help in troubleshooting the problem would be greatly
appreciated.

DNS is running on a DC in the Parent container; Exchange 2003 server is
located in child domain.

Thanks.
