Change dns server
HI,
I have multiple domain controllers and my DNS is running on it. I wanted to change the primary dns server. For example. When i ran "NSLOOKUP" it gave me the IP address 192.168.1.25. I wanted to know how can i change the "NSLOOKUP to show up 192.168.1.26. The domain controller 192.168.1.25 will be demote in the future and the domain controller 192.168.1.26 will replace it. In the DNSMGMT, all the setting for domain controllers are all the same. They all contain event viewer, forward/reverse lookup and the properties are all the same. When i do a test on "RECURSIVE QUERY it fail on 192.168.1.26 and it pass on 192.168.1.25. Thanks

Yes, the DHCP server display .25 when do NSLOOKUP. Flush dns and it's still showing .26 as a Primary DNS on client PC. Ran a test in DNSMGMT _under Properties_Monitoring for the Simple Query and Recursive Query. The Simple Query pass and the Recursive Query FAILED.

Thanks everyone for your comment. I will reward each of you with points. I was able to resolved my Recursive Query. But the issue with my DND is still not fixed. When i do a NSLOOKUP, it still showed a default dns server 192.168.1.26. I wanted my DNS server to showed 192.168.1.25 as a default server. Do i need to demote the server .26 in order for the .25 to be a default dns server?

When i do a NSLOOKUP-- i get FOR EXAMPLE "DefaULT SERVER : 192.168.1.26.TEST. " "ADDRESS: 192.168.26".
My objectives is to do a NSLOOKUP and get a Default Server and Address of 192.168.1.25.
