dns zone expired?

Dis,

Check out the inoformation on this pate

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/sag_dns_add_serverlogreference.asp


Zone [zonename] expired before it could obtain a successful zone transfer or update from a master server acting as its source for the zone. The zone has been shut down.
This event ID might appear when the DNS server is configured to host a secondary copy of the zone from another DNS server acting as its source or master server. Verify that this server has network connectivity to its configured master server.

If the problem continues, consider one or more of the following options:

Delete the zone and recreate it, specifying either a different master server, or an updated and corrected IP address for the same master server.
For more information, see Add and remove zones.

If zone expiration continues, consider adjusting the expire interval.
For more information, see To adjust the expire interval for a zone.

For more information, see Understanding zones and zone transfer.


Are you seeing event ID 6527 in your logs?

Thanks
Mike

Are any other DNS servers having problems with transfers from the master?


Thanks
Mike

hmm the network was down for a little while. But the IP never changed on anything.

"To adjust the expire interval for a zone"  <<---how do I do this?

Im hoping I dont have to delete a registry key as the documentation outlined

Thanks mike!

This is how you can change the interval

I'm also hoping that you don't need to go into the registry :)


Thanks
Mike

ok well now i can successfully tranfser. I clicked "Scavenge Stale Resource Records" under the aging tab

I also changed the expiration interval to 1 minute.

Is this ok?  What does changing the expiration interval to 1 minute do?
thanks

hi systemprog. We must have posted at the same time :-)

I got it working by changing the expiration interval to 1 minute.

I only have one nic in each DC. Everything is active directory integrated. It is hosting a secondary DNS zone for another domain I have external trust with.

thanks

:-) Yes i think so.

Anyway Thanks!

thanks guys

Thanks!

Thanks DIS!!
