DCDiag /test:DNS failure

I removed Active Directory, i.e. demoted the server from a DC to just another server.

I added 1 of my ISP's DNS Server to the local IP configuration so I would have Internet connectivity when I rebooted.  

Rebooted.

I Ran the AD Wizard establishing a new AD.
I Ran the DNS and DHCP configuration wizards, which in doing so I found the defaults to already be correct. e.g. In DNS there were already forward zone records for the server, there was an _msdcs,net.sb.local forward zone and a  _msdcs subforlder under the net.sb.local forward zone.

In DHCP, it already had the proper scope and reservations for 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.10. I did have to add the forwarders to DNS. The local IP dropped the DNS server of the ISP without my intervention and kept the server's IP address as the DNS server.

The router is 192.168.1.1 and the DC server (OLYMPUS) is 192.168.1.10.

I added my user id back to AD and it asked for my password, etc.

The clients pull (or are given) correct information:

Try restarting the netlogon service on the DC to register its records agaon,  how is your forest setup? (single or multiple domains etc)

That is the DSA GUID that can't be resolved there.

I'm going out to a July 4th BBQ soon so I may not answer a follow up until late.

Thanks

Well that takes all the fun out of things, being that it appears to have worked.

I'll leave it open a bit for any other comments or suggestions.

Man that added a slew of DNS entries!

But it passes dcdiag /test:DNS

Finally an answer!

Way to go and thanks to all.
