The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

DNS issues

Asked by groobo in Domain Name Service (DNS), Windows 2003 Server, Operating Systems Miscellaneous

Having some DNS problems perhaps someone can discern more from this dcdiag result:

Domain Controller Diagnosis

Performing initial setup:
   * Verifying that the local machine dc01, is a DC.
   * Connecting to directory service on server dc01.
   * Collecting site info.
   * Identifying all servers.
   * Identifying all NC cross-refs.
   * Found 4 DC(s). Testing 1 of them.
   Done gathering initial info.

Doing initial required tests
   
   Testing server: NY\dc01
      Starting test: Connectivity
         * Active Directory LDAP Services Check
         The host 35d0baa2-268b-4290-b4d8-5a2336c04e90._msdcs.eco.ecomarkets.com could not be resolved to an
         IP address.  Check the DNS server, DHCP, server name, etc
         Although the Guid DNS name

         (35d0baa2-268b-4290-b4d8-5a2336c04e90._msdcs.eco.ecomarkets.com)

          couldn't be resolved, the server name

         (dc01.eco.ecomarkets.com) resolved to the IP address

         (192.168.11.17) and was pingable.  Check that the IP address is
