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!

Missing DNS entries in Active Directoy Domain Controller's DNS

Asked by justusatsim in Miscellaneous Networking, Active Directory, Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: , , ,

I 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.domainname

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\servername
      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.jlasdkjf._msdcs.domainname.net) couldn't
         be resolved, the server name (servername.domainname.net) resolved
         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

Doing primary tests

   Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\servername
      Skipping all tests, because server servername is
      not responding to directory service requests

   Running enterprise tests on : domainname.net
      Starting test: Intersite
         ......................... domainname.net passed test Intersite
      Starting test: FsmoCheck
         Warning: DcGetDcName(TIME_SERVER) call failed, error 1355
         A Time Server could not be located.
         The server holding the PDC role is down.
         Warning: DcGetDcName(GOOD_TIME_SERVER_PREFERRED) call failed, error 135
5
         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?Start Free Trial
