Browse All TopicsI inherited a W2K AD Domain. The first additional XP workstation I tried to add to it I recieved this message.
The domain name domainname 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 domainname:
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.domai
Common causes of this error include the following:
- The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS.
- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:
domainname
. (the root zone)
I then ran dcdiag and this is what I got.
Domain Controller Diagnosis
Performing initial setup:
Done gathering initial info.
Doing initial required tests
Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\se
Starting test: Connectivity
servername's server GUID DNS name could not be resolved to an
IP address. Check the DNS server, DHCP, server name, etc
Although the Guid DNS name
(klajlkajdf.lkjlkjdf.jlasd
be resolved, the server name (servername.domainname.net
to the IP address (x.x.x.x) and was pingable. Check that the IP
address is registered correctly with the DNS server.
......................... servername failed test Connectivity

Skipping all tests, because server servername is
not responding to directory service requests
Running enterprise tests on : domainname.net

A Time Server could not be located.
The server holding the PDC role is down.

A Good Time Server could not be located.
......................... domainname.net failed test FsmoCheck
I then logged onto the DC to check the DNS and all the _msdc,_sites,_tcp,_udp for the domain are not there.
My question is how do I create or recreate those records without manually entering each one?
