Two W2003SP2 DCs, DC1 and DC2 having just renamed their domain from mydomain to mydomain.lan (single label to dotted name). Everything went well, no error messages. Clients logs on to the new domain name flawlessly.
However, there is a DNS problem. DC1 takes minutes to start, freezes at 'Preparing network connections'. The event logs displays various errors / warnings which are copied below. I believe that many of the problems are related. I need specific information on where to go in the consoles and what to check for to resolve this situation, therefore I set the points to 500.
Thanks a lot if there are som DNS / AD wizards out there ;-)
best regards
Geir

Active Directory could not use DNS to resolve the IP address of the source domain controller listed below. To maintain the consistency of Security groups, group policy, users and computers and their passwords, Active Directory successfully replicated using the NetBIOS or fully qualified computer name of the source domain controller.
Invalid DNS configuration may be affecting other essential operations on member computers, domain controllers or application servers in this Active Directory forest, including logon authentication or access to network resources.
You should immediately resolve this DNS configuration error so that this domain controller can resolve the IP address of the source domain controller using DNS.

DNS server has updated its own host (A) records. In order to ensure that its DS-integrated peer DNS servers are able to replicate with this server, an attempt was made to update them with the new records through dynamic update. An error was encountered during this update, the record data is the error code.
If this DNS server does not have any DS-integrated peers, then this error
should be ignored.
If this DNS server's Active Directory replication partners do not have the correct IP address(es) for this server, they will be unable to replicate with it.
