We have a number of VLANs that under DNS management of 2003 show up as Reverse lookup Zones by their respective subnet (ex. 10.0.10.x, 10.0.20.x, etc.).<br />
<br />
We have on subnet (10.0.50.x) that currently holds only 1 UNIX host, thus I assume why there is no Reverse Lookup Zone created for it.<br />
<br />
When I try to create a new &quot;A&quot; record under the Forward Lookup Zone the box is ticked to create a PTR record and it gives me the error:<br />
<br />
<br />
&quot;The associated pointer (PTR) record cannot be created, probably because teh referenced reverse lookup zone cannot be found&quot;.<br />

DNS - New VLAN does not have Reverse Lookup Zone. Error when manually creating A Record

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
