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 problems in logs after domain rename

Asked by geir056 in Windows 2003 Server, Active Directory, Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: dns, error, event

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

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.
