RE: SBS2003: Intermitent Connectivity from Clients to Public websi

When I delete the zones should I also delete the root hints and forwarders
which are not in the forward and reverse look up zones?

Crina,

I deleted the newly created primary zone from the DNS console. I still have
the forwarder under the server name set up with the correct forwarders. My
root hints was already populated with addresses and IPs, so I did nothing
with it.

Also, I reran the CEICW. I got two red 'X's for the network connection and
firewall connection. It also requested DNS primary and secondary information.
I both left it blank and input the DNS settings from the ISP and both the
network and firewall connection still failed. Also, I lost my Remote Access
from a public IP address. What do you think happened :(

Hi Hans,

Thanks for your update.

As I know, you should have the following Forward zones on DNS console:

1. Open DNS console.
2. Expand server name| Forward Lookup Zones.
3. You should have domain name and _msdcs.domain name Zones.

Also please rerun CEICW to see how thing goes.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Crina Li (MSFT)
