How to manually recreate (or copy?) _msdcs.company.local

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

Tags: Microsoft, Server, 2003, DNS question

I'm doing a swing installation of SBS 2003, but my problem is one of DNS.  Somehow on my migration/temporary server I've "lost" some DNS information.  My root _msdcs.company.local seems to be intact, but on close inspection of my company.local I see that the _msdcs container doesn't exist, nor does the NS record below it.

Error being generated when trying to add member to domain:

DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain company.local:
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.company.local
The following domain controllers were identified by the query:
tempdc.company.local
Common causes of this error include:
- Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.
- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are not running.
