DNS + AD not properly configured when DCPromed...?
Hi,
I just realized that my DNS was not properly configured and now it is making application deeply attached to AD fail every time I try to install them (i.e. Exchange).
The problem that I'm seeing is, there are no SRV records under Forward Lookup Zones except for _msdcs.
I have already tried "net start/stop netlogon" and this didn't do anything.
Now, my question is that, would it be possible to re-setup DNS without damaging the Active Directory?
Without damaging... I mean this by preserving the exchange mail accounts as well. (we were trying to add another exchange server, then faced the issue)
Here's the background information on this issue
Server1: DC + AD + DNS + Exch2003 @ Win2003 standard <-- the one with the problem
Server2: Exch2003 @ Win2003 standard <-- the one we are adding
Thank you very much in advance

Sorry for the huge post above,
but it seems to me that both commands are failing because the dns server lacks the correct SRV data,
which somehow didn't get produced during the initial setup.

Can you post an IPCONFIG /ALL from each Domain Controller and from the problem machine as well.
