Re: Repost: Missing ForestDNSZones and DomainDNSZones partitions under child AD 2003 domain


Ignore recreating DomainDNSZones, that only applies if we can find an existing but broken instance. For some reason I was under the impression that was working on DC1. Sorry about that.

The DomainDNSZones sub-folder / sub-domain you see (or wanted to see) under your Forward Lookup Zone is used to store a list of servers which have enlisted the partition (in this case every DC in your domain which is running the DNS service). Creating the sub-domain and associated records wouldn't make the partition appear.

The event log errors aren't really very encouraging. Which DC are they refusing to talk to?

You also mentioned a problem with the Domain Naming Master. Where is that?

I still think the full output from DCDiag would be beneficial.

I also notice in DNS under the zone that there is no DomainDNSZones
partition like there is with my other domains. I have created that
partition but nothing gets populated in it. If you need a picture to
understand better what I mean, let me know.

This might be a stupid question but how can we "delete the
DomainDNSZones partition" if we can't find it?

Do the errors in my Directory Service Event log mean anything? Or are
they occurring because of the DNS issues?

Event 1645 - Active Directory did not perform an authenticated remote
procedure call (RPC) to another domain controller because the desired
service principal name (SPN) for the destination domain controller is
not registered on the Key Distribution Center (IKDC) domain controller
that resolves the SPN.

Event 1925 - The attempt to establish a replication link for the
follwoing writable directory parition failed. Additional Data
Error value: 1396 Logon Failure: The target account name is incorrect.


I certainly need to get this resolved sooner than later but of course
don't want to cause any MORE problems.....so if deleting it and
recreating it is the only option then I guess that's what I have to
do...... :-(

Thanks!
