| Need some help on the DNS service.
I configured an Active Directory integrated zone on my only DC; the zone name is microsoft.com. I later configured a Standard Secondary zone on my member server for the microsoft.co zone.
On my DC I can successfully perform both test queries but on the member server both test queries always fail. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
And maybe someone can explain to me the concept of domain delegation. I creating a sales domain within the microsoft.com domain and then delegating it to my member server. After that do I have to manually add a new zone for the sales.microsoft.com on the member server? | |

| Have you checked your zone transfers in the properties tab? | |

| I will double check the zone transfer properties but I know the member server is resolving names properly since my Pro client can resolve names. I cleared the cache on both the client and member server to be sure the DNS server was consulting its database for resolution. | |

| You will need to dreate the zone in one of two ways:
a) Manually create the zone, if you select the option for dynamic update, clients that have the appropriate domain name assigned to them will automatically register records there.
b) Promote your member server to a domain controller for the delegated domain. DCPROMO checks the properties of DNS for the domain you are creating. If the zone does not exist or is not configured correctly, DCPROMO will offer to install DNS on the domain controller you are promoting and create the appropriate zone. | |

| Thanks for your help guys but I figured it out after reading the Windows 2000 Resource Kit. The zone delegation seems to be working now but the member server still says it's failing on the Query tests. | |

| You have made a zone on it? | |

For zone delegation, I created a microsoft.com AD integrated zone on my DC. Then I used the new zone delegation wizard to delegate a subdomain called support and pointed the NS record to my member server.
On the member server I created the support.microsoft.com Standard Primary zone and then populated the zone with A records.
To test the name resolution, I used a Professional computer with the DC set as its only DNS server. I was able to resolve the names in the support.microsoft.com zone. | |

| I had the same issue sometime ago.. What if any service packs have you installed??
In my test network I had to install SP2 on the member server to correct the problem.
let me know if that helped | |

| Then query worked | |

| My servers are not running any service packs but I do notice one anomaly with the DNS service in the Evaluation copy of Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Even after clearing the DNS cache, the server is still able to resolve names to the previously resolved IP address. Only by restarting the DNS service can this problem be corrected. I will try this again to see if it has been fixed in SP4 when I install it next week. |
