DNS server netlogon.dns file invalid entried
Hi all
I am running server 2003 ent edition domain. My netdiag was failing over dns test with "DNS test . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Failed
[FATAL] File \config\netlogon.dns contains invalid DNS entries. [FA
TAL] File \config\netlogon.dns contains invalid DNS entries. [FATAL] File
\config\netlogon.dns contains invalid DNS entries. [FATAL] File \config\ne
tlogon.dns contains invalid DNS entries. [FATAL] No DNS servers have the DNS
records for this DC registered.
I looked at this file and found that it takes lots of values of our OLD DOmain name. Can I remove those entries or simply rename this file? if not whats the easist way to fix this issue.
Thanks

I backed up the copy of this netlogon.dns and removed all entries of our old domain name. did ipconfig /flushdns, restarted dns and then ipconfig /registerdns. Looked at the file and the old domain name came back. I wonder where this file is getting the entries from, is it adsiedit??
Help plz

As you said, I renamed the entries in netlogon.dns and now the DNS test in netdiag is passed and all NICS are properly registered.
Thanks

Good stuff, glad it worked out :)

Used the Domain Rename tool?
You might find you can get away with Find / Replace in the netlogon.dns file to correct the entries.
