Hi Ace,

The _msdcs.mydomain.local is not missing. Only the mydomain.local zones and the SRV folders are missing ...
mydomain.local has been manually deleted.

There is only one DC into the domain
Ths OS version is 2003RS SP2
The ISP's DSN addresses are not in my DC which is multihomed (but it can be turned off).
There is no more than one domain in the forest.
The zone is not single label

I have already saved netlogon.dns|dnd|ftl (no .bak found) from the system32/config folder

Thanks for your advices Ace.


Hello Fel,

There are too many interfaces on this domain controller. I would first suggest to remove the PPP interface. That looks like a RRAS interface. I am not sure what that is used for on this machine. Is RRAS installed? That is another non-recommended service on a domain controller. Domain controllers are sensitive to the DNS registered entries, and the multiple interfaces, including if RRAS is installed, causes problems.

I see two of the installed NICs are in the same IP range. It looks like 192.168.10.221 is the main NIC. I suggest that if the two NICs are of the same namebrand and model. to download and install the manufacturer's software for the NICs and team them, otherwise, disable the NIC with 192.168.10.100.

For the deleted zone, which is unfortunate, if you do not have a system state backup, simply recreate the mydomain.local zone, and make it AD integrated, and set updates to allow secure and non-secure for now, then attempt the registration process on the domain controller. Try:

ipconfig /all
net stop netlogon
net start netlogon

I do not understand the language the ipconfig is in, but it appears that NetBIOS is disabled. Not a problem, but just as an FYI, if you have the DHCP Client service disabled, that will prevent registration and name resolution. This service must be enabled on all machines that need to register and resolve names.
