Re: Server slow to boot up...

True, in this case you don't have to manually set up Zone Transfer.

Both of my machines are set up as AD Integrated? Am I correct to assume
that
I don't need to set up the Zone Transfers tab on each DNS server as this
is
already handled by AD?

Thanks

Hi,

to check the DNS settings open DNS MMC. Expand the Forward Lookup Zone
and
right click on the name of your zone. Select the properties for the zone
and
here you should see three buttons. Under Type it should say Active
Directory
Integrated. If it is not -- click on Change button and change the
setting.

Make sure that both servers use AD Integrated zones.

My recommendation would also be to use Active Directory Integrated DNS
Zones. This integration will take care of zone replication between
both
DNS
servers.

Thanks - this makes sense. However, I'm confused as to how to actually
do
this... When I set up the first DC, the wizard automagically installed
and
set up DNS and made me an AD integrated zone.

How do I do this on the second DC? I used the Manage Your Server thing
to
add the box as a second DC on the domain, but it didn't set up DNS. So
I
did
it manually - I wasn't sure which options to pick in the wizard
though - I
picked the "this domain is managed by another machine" and then
manually
configured the zone transfers afterwards, but I don't think this is the
correct way to do it... I'm sure there is something obvious I'm
missing
here, but if you could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate
it.

Thanks
Mark
