Hello griffinpet,

If you demote a DC the name is NOT removed in AD sites and services, this has to be done manual, so what you see is expected because it was still in the site.

Hi again,

:) done now and external requests are being resolved. I thought that
root hints should have taken care of requests that could not be
resolved on each DC.

I demoted the DC in SiteB, removed the DNS server, promoted again and
was placed in the correct site when dcpromo was finished.

Tried to logon from a client again and guess what? logonserver still
reports DCs in SiteA :( this is driving me crazy.

Have you configured a FORWARDER in ALL DNS server properties to your
ISPs
DNS server?
Best regards

10.0.1.x and 10.0.2.x are just member servers, no DCs there. SQL

and

WEB servers.

The errors are gone but the authenticating server still alternates

to

the dcs in Site A sometimes.

I really suspect DNS problems on the DC in Site B (PB-FS-01). From

a

client in Site B with the DNS server set to 10.10.10.10 I sometimes
get problems when I try to resolve certain domains and as a result I
cannot login to messenger or access certain sites.

If for example in nslookup I issue a query to sky.com it cannot
resolve. If I set the server to 10.0.3.103 (the DC in Site A) it
resolves perfectly. I cannot understand this.

I checked DNS manager in both DCs running Win 2003 and they're
perfectly the same. The Win2000 DC in Site A has a few standard

zones

that do not replicate to the other DCs but this should not have any
effect?

Should I demote PB-FS-01 and promote it again?
