| I've been doing tests on this and I come up with strange results every time.
My first question is: How do you properly install active directory.
This is what I've done.
1- run dcpromo
2- cant find dns server, auto setup
3- system puts by itself in the tcp/ip settings dsn 127.0.0.1, which I understand but cant configure myself, I get the error message from windows.
now, when I log on, I get the first logon that is very long, then the others are fine. My station as the 2k server as dns, a different router, and the 2k dns has forwarding for my linksys router.
Now, how would I go about doing this manually, meaning setting up the dns records. Would I have to do new zone and add my server has the host, copy the same types of records win2k installs with active directory?
For instance, lets say I have a corrupted 2kserver where active directory is fine but dns is bad, how can I setup a second 2k server to be the dns? |
