Re: DC-DNS-ADI and best way to setup DNS on new DC

Ok, I went to my new DC-DNS-AD02. I launched the "DNS" management tool, I
right click on the respective server node, "Configure a DNS Server". Then I
picked "root hint";
Immediately it displayed all DNS info from "perimeter.mycompany.com".
However, I have a secondary zone from "internaldomain.company.com" that is
visible on DC-DNS-ADI01, but it did not show up on this new DNS server after
the root hint operation.
Any idea ?

I ran netdiag.exe and no relevant errors were recorded.

Yes, the DC-DNS-ADI02 is on the same domain and zone. Win2003 SP1.

The part that I can't remember how I did before:
After the junior admin DCPROMO DC-DNS-ADI02 to make it a DC, I went
to the DC-DNS-ADI02 server and the "DNS administration tool" was not
installed. Then I went to add/remove programs and I installed it.

Now if I launch the "DNS" application, I see all the zones OK for the
original DC-DNS-ADI01, but they are not showing up for DC-DNS-ADI02.
What do I need to do in order to have those zones visible there ?
That's the part that I can't get it. Shouldn't they be there since
the info is already stored in AD ? What do I need to do to retrieve
the DNS info from DC-DNS-ADI01 and make it 'visible' on the
DC-DNS-ADI02 as well ?
I have the option to right click "DC-DNS-ADI02" , do "Configure DNS
Server"; however it is not clear to me which option I should pick.

Ah-ha, you get the old configure this server displayed in the new DC. hmm.
Run through the wizard one time configure root hints only, if the zones
were
store in AD on the first DC, you'll already have the zones you need. If
they
are not there it could be a replication problem. Use dcdiag to diagnose
replication problems.
