Missing DNS data

Hi,

I have an issue within our DNS where data has been removed from the forward lookup zone; unfortunately I don’t know what has been removed as so I am unable to put it back. Is there anyway of looking at what was configured before this data was deleted. Can I get this from a backup of the files in the system32\DNS folder I don’t really want to have to restore the DC from backup, but if this is the only way then so be it. Hoping someone can save my sorry ass.

Thanks guys

Simon

What do you think has been removed?
Most clients will update their own records if they are missing. The only items that will not update themselves are static entries you may have added manually?

Thanks guys, yeah it is Windows DNS. I am new to this organisation so I don’t know how things were configured and there has been no documentation done within the last 10 years (real helpful). I will do a restore to another box and look at the config. And then document it.....

"mail.domain.com.au" is not working; I can telnet to it internally but not externally. Thankfully we have a backup that still works. Who ever set this up has done it in a really convoluted way and it just makes no sense.

Thanks again guys.
