Re: Help with Zone tranfers keep breaking

Hi Kevin

If all the zones are AD integrated, zone transfers have no function, an
ADI
zone in Forest A will not replicate to Forest B. You would have to create
a
Secondary of Forest A zones on Forest B DNS.
Instead of using Secondary zones, you should use conditional forwarding
for
the zones in other forests. Alternately you can use stub zones but
conditional forwarders don't have to rely on any transfer of records.

That's true and I agree, and that's why I recommended Conditional
Forwarding,
What is weird beside that is that zone transfer should be working... Right?
