| I am trying to set up a DC with a child domain in the forest. But as you can see from the text below that is was I keep running into. But the funny thing is though I am able to join the parent's domail, so shouldn't I be able to join with dcpromo?
If someone could please help me out on this one that would be great. If you are wondering what I am doing, I am trying to set up some labs at home So I can finish up on my labs.
SO here it goes.
The domain name headquarters might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.
If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.
The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain headquarters:
The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.headquarters
Common causes of this error include the following:
- The DNS SRV records required to locate a domain controller for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server automatically when a domain controller is added to a domain. They are updated by the domain controller at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with following IP addresses:
192.168.1.1
- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:
headquarters
. (the root zone)

| Did you create a forward lookup zone on the DNS server for the child domain? Did you enable the zone for dynamic update?
Is the zone a fully qualified name not a netbios name? | |

How do I go about creating a forward lookup zone in DNS for the child domain??
I know that it is enabled for non-secure and secure updates.
I beleive that it is a FQDN.
Thanks, for your help | |

| Right click your current zone and select new zone. Follow the wizard.
Fully qualified take the form of an Internet name for example: mydomain.local or mydomain.com | |

I just found out that DNS uses flat files (studying 291 material). AFAIK, that means there's no hierarchial structure. (I'm still a newbie, though, on DNS.)
Would the implication be that you need to make sure you create forward lookups for all types of domains? | |
| relder 2005-04-04, 10:35 pm |
| There is a somewhat of a hierarchial structure. A child domain would be included in the primary zone of the parent.
You create primary zones that you want to be authoritative for. You create secondary zones or stub zones to assist in lookups for other domains.
A thorough understanding of DNS is required when you are running AD. | |

| That's a very good explanation. Thank you.
I've been studying primary/secondary also. Your explanation has been very helpful as I only saw a 2ndary as a backup to the primary, not as a self-sufficient aid for AD.
Yes, you're correct on the thorough understanding of DNS. I have a long way to go!!  | |

| The only difference between a regular primary zone and an AD integrated primary zone is where the database file store.
Regular zones are stored as a file in the systemroot\system32\dns folder. AD integrated zones are stored in an application partition the AD database (ntds.dit)
Zone transfers of AD zones are performed during AD replication. Zone transfers of regular zones is a seperate transfer process. | |

| Thanks for the help, But I figured out my problem, I was not putting in the right IP address of my DNS server, and on the DNS server itself I didn't input the correct Fowarder for my ISP DNS
Thanks, for the help everyone. |
