DNS
I am getting a couple of error in the event log which are event id 6702, 5774 and i also ran this test but not sure what it means or how to fix it. I ran this test netdiag /test:dns and came up with this. I was looking at one of my other servers dns and i noticed the one that is bad is missing a couple things in it. When i open up the dns under the forward lookup zones there is no _msdcs.domainname.com and on my other good server there is one. Also there is a cached folder with the . that i cannot delete also. Thanks for any help
C:\Program Files\Resource Kit>netdiag /test:dns

*** TCP/IP-Settings ***
* On your first DC/DNS, make sure the only DNS listed in the TCP/IP properties is itself. <--ONLY ONE DC I WAS LOOKING AT MY OTHER SERVER AT MY OTHER OFFICE
* On your domain members, enter both DCs as primary and secondary DNS. I ENTERED IN THE SERVERS DNS ON ALL THE CLIENTS EXCEPT 2 COMPUTERS I CANT REMOTE INTO
* Do NOT enter your ISP's DNS server in the TCP/IP settings on any domain member. All DNS resolution needs to be done by your internal DNS servers *only*. DONE
*** DNS Server Settings ***
* Delete the root zone (if present) in your DNS servers' forward lookup zones (the single dot, "."), to enable external lookups. I RIGHT CLICK ON IT AND THERE IS NO OPTION TO DELETE
* Right-click your forward and reverse lookup zones, go to Properties, and make sure that Dynamic Updates are enabled. SECURED UPDATE ONLY IS CHECKED
* In the properties page of your DNS servers, configure forwarders to point to your ISP's DNS. The forwarders section is the *only* entry in your network where your ISP's DNS should be listed. DONE
* It's recommended (but not necessary) to set your zones to Active Directory integrated (this can be done in the properties of the zones as well). WHEN I RIGHT CLICK ON THE FOWARD LOOKUP ZONES AND THE REVERSE LOOKUP ZONES I DONT GET "PROPERTIES" JUST WHEN I RIGHT CLICK ON THE DOMAIN NAME I GET THAT.
