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!

Can't create reverse lookup stub zone

Zones: Windows 2003 Server, Active Directory, Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: Microsoft, Windows, 2003

Hi all

I am having trouble setting up a DNS stub zone, and also a trust - possibly the same root cause.

We have a management DMZ, with its own AD/DNS domain management.local (2003 functional level). There are 3 customers, customer1.local, customer2.local and customer3.com.au. I have set up forward and reverse stub zones in management.local DNS for the 3 customers. Each host in the management.local domain has all 3 customer suffixes plus its own domain suffix in the search list. In this way the hosts in the management DMZ can resolve any host in any customer domain.

All stub zones work fine except the reverse lookup for the customer3.com.au domain (This customer is actually our internal corporate LAN, it is at 2003 functional level). All settings are the same as for the other customers.

I am also trying to create a trust: management.local (the DMZ) trusts customer3.com.au (our corp LAN). I have created forward and reverse stub zones for management.local in the customer3.com.au DNS, these work fine. I have temporarily set the firewall to ANY/ANY between the DCs. Attempting to set up the trust from the management.local end using the domain's DNS name (customer3.com.au) fails, saying LSA is unable to make an RPC connection to the customer3.com.au DC. The set-up works from the customer3.com.au end.

It DOES however allow me to set up that end of the trust using the netbios name i.e. CUSTOMER3.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
