Good luck and good night :)

I hope Chris-Dent will pop into your question
On the child domain DNS you root hint should point to you parent domain dns server. In your case it should be something like
Root Hints:
Server Fully Qualified Domain Name             IP Address
DC01.florasul.lan                        192.168.1.101


Do this and then make a ping request to DC01.florasul.lan

Are you sure that is to point my parent domain on root hints ?
The query should not be resolved locally?

Regards

André Bolinhas
You need flush the cache by running
ipconfig/flushdns
on the machine ur running the ping from

Can you list the forwarder defined on the child domain DNS

The resolution order is
local copy of DNS
forwarders
Root hints

Regards,
Shahid
I already did
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
and restart netlogon service

But still don't work

Forwarders list:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

From parent I can resolve names from child locally, without forwarders or root hints
On the Parent you must have delegation of the child domain configured thats why are resolving the addresses properly. No issues here.

But since you forwarders are pooled before root hints, I am assuming that the DNS servers in the forwarders are resolving the addresses.

If you can add a conditional forwarder for your florasul.lan domain and add DC01.florasul.lan (192.168.1.101).

See if that helps.

Regards,
Shahid
and If I create a delagation on child to parent?
Ok, I already add my parent ip on child forwards.

Now I can ping parent.

you can not dear. It doesn't work that way.  Delegation works in tree structure. You can only use delegation to extend the tree, i.e. if you decide to add another child(corp) below your child(evora01.florasul.lan) domain, making the new child domain(corp.evora01.florasul.lan).
Parent to child name resolution can be done using delegation or forwarders
Child to parent name resolution can be done using forwarder or root hints.

Do you have any reservation creating the forwarder in the child domain to the parent domain?
Seems you can connect to the public DNS from your server, you might have to configure you external firewall to have access to them?

Out of curiousity, whats their use on this server?
I use windows server 2008 r2 in both server (parent and child).

Made a mistake in my above post. I meant to say that it seems you cannot connect to the public DNS from your server, you might have to configure you external firewall to have access to them?

Whats their use on this server?

Regards,
Shahid
I use windows 2008 r2 and both server and server don't have firewall.

My external firewall don't have any restriction.
can you run the following command to see if you are able to access the DNS servers
telnet 208.67.220.220 53

and similarly:
telnet 208.67.222.222 53

If they are accessible on port 53(DNS) you will get a blank screen otherwise a request time out.

My problem is not the child can  not resolve the public dns, the dns are use to forward only to internet and is working.

My problem is a dns comunications between child and parent.
If that is the case then from above post ID:30839391 and ID:30839535 the issue seems to be resolved.

The same post also indicates that public DNS Servers  (208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222) are unreachable from the DNS server. Just thought you should know.

Regards,
Shahid

Note : Just like to inform you that I might not be available for the next hour, there is a schedule power outage thats gonna occur.
no, no resolve.

can you test replication between the two forest DCs.

Once replication occurs between the DCs, try the DNS test once again.

Regards,
Shahid.

Please, ignore my last post.

How can i do to test replication?
Sorry for the late reply.
dcdiag /test:replications /v
do post the output.

Have a look at this article if you need to fix replications.

Good morning André,

I've read the above a few times and I feel it may be best to simply start again at the beginning. I apologise for any repetition, but I'm troubled by some of the tests suggested above, a clean slate would be easier.

As far as I understand you're in this situation at the moment:

1. Name resolution on the parent domain is working.
2. Public name resolution on the child domain is working.
3. Name resolution from the child back up to the parent is failing.

Is that correct?

And if so, would you mind showing me "ipconfig /all" from the child domain in the first instance?

Thank you.

Chris
Hi Chris-Dent good morning,

I'm glad to hear you :)

1 - Name resolution on the parent domain is working. I think so, but I'm not sure
2. Public name resolution on the child domain is working. I think so, but I'm not sure
3. Name resolution from the child back up to the parent is failing. yes.

Yes, it's correct.
192.168.2.101:evora01.florasul.lan
and
192.168.1.101:florasul.lan

On parent domain (192.168.1.101) I change the replication to "To all DNS servers in the Active Directory Forest florasul.lan" and in child domain (192.168.2.101) the folder florasul.lan appeared automatically inside forward lookup zone.

I need to do the same in child domain? or leave the replication with "To all DNS servers in the Active Directory domaint" ?

I need to do the steps B and C to?

On 192.168.2.101 I remove 192.168.1.101 from the main Forwarders list.

On 192.168.1.101 I run the command  nslookup florasul.lan 192.168.2.101, check the output.
C:\Users\Administrator>nslookup florasul.lan 192.168.2.101
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.2.101

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    florasul.lan
Address:  192.168.1.101
> I need to do the steps B and C to?

No. you only needed one of them :)

> I need to do the same in child domain?

Are you able to resolve names in the child domain from the parent at the moment?

If not you can consider doing the same thing. Whether you should depends how large your forest is.

Otherwise you should check the Delegation for evora01 from florasul.lan (if it exists evora01 will appear as a greyed out folder in florasul.lan).

> On 192.168.2.101 I remove 192.168.1.101 from the main Forwarders list.

Good, thank you.

> nslookup ...

The output looks pretty good. The only part that's failing is the check NsLookup likes to run.

Do you have any Reverse Lookup Zones configured at the moment?

Chris
>Otherwise you should check the Delegation for evora01 from florasul.lan (if it exists evora01 will appear as a greyed out folder in florasul.lan).
Yes I a grey folder called evora01 inside florasul.lan folder in parent dns.
Check the screenshot http://share.arqui300.com/storage/arqui300/ftp/parent_dns.PNG

>Do you have any Reverse Lookup Zones configured at the moment?
How can I check this?

On child domain (192.168.2) it is a primary or secundary zone ? and tick the option "To all DNS servers in the Active Directory Forest florasul.lan" or "To all DNS servers in the Active Directory Domain" ?

> On child domain (192.168.2) it is a primary or secundary zone ?

Primary (with AD Integrated Ticked)

> and tick the option "To all DNS servers in the Active Directory Forest florasul.lan" or
> "To all DNS servers in the Active Directory Domain" ?

And forest replication will do for that one: To all DNS servers in the Active Directory Forest florasul.lan

That should finish it off. It would be good to run your DCDiag tests again and see if it's happier.

Chris
Check the output now, from parent.
C:\Users\Administrator>nslookup florasul.lan 192.168.2.101
Server:  chld01.evora01.florasul.lan
Address:  192.168.2.101

Name:    florasul.lan
Address:  192.168.1.101

where I run dcdiag? On parent or in child? Dcdig only or with options, like test:dns /e ?

Both parent and child. And with the basic options will be fine for now (dcdiag on its own).

That looks fine. You can ignore the certificate error if you do not use Smart Cards to logon.

Anything else you'd like to look at? Otherwise it's all done :)

It is normal ?
> Pinging chld01 [169.254.66.135] with 32 bytes of data

This suggests you have a network interface with no static IP Address assigned which is enabled on chld01. I suggest you disable it if that is the case.

The IP address the interface has a the moment is an auto-configuration address. Something you'd get if the network interface is enabled, connected and set to obtain an address from DHCP but when no DHCP server is available.

Once you've done that, run "nslookup chld01" and make sure it only comes back with 192.168.2.101.

>  1 test failure on this DNS server

Is normal if you have an older version of DCDiag. It's testing things that it should not test, more recent versions of DCDiag will avoid that.

Either way, it's an error in the test DCDiag runs, not an error in your domain.

> Error: No WMI connectivity

Fix the network interface above then retry this one if you could.

Chris
I have static ip in both nic's.

and I have the same dcdiag version in both server.
and check the output
C:\Users\Administrator>nslookup chld01
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  ::1

*** UnKnown can't find chld01: Non-existent domain

C:\Users\Administrator>
> I have static ip in both nic's.

I can't tell you exactly where it gets that answer, only my theories, it's certainly not coming from DNS. Perhaps run "ipconfig /all" and verify that no interfaces have the address you found assigned.

Otherwise run:

nbtstat -a chld01

Do you have a WINS server at all?

> C:\Users\Administrator>nslookup chld01

Where are you running this from?

If you run it from the parent you won't get an answer because it would need a DNS Suffix Search List to include the child domain name.

> and I have the same dcdiag version in both server.

As I said, the error you had is because DCDiag is testing things that you cannot possibly fix. You can avoid the error with more recent versions of DCDiag or you can ignore it, it honestly doesn't matter which.

Do you have a WINS server at all? No, is necessary?
Where are you running this from? From parent

But, if i ping dc01 (without fqdn name) from parente, works fine:
C:\Users\Administrator>ping dc01

> But, if i ping dc01 (without fqdn name) from parente, works fine:

Yes, but dc01 exists within florasul.lan.

When you run that command your system automatically appends florasul.lan onto the name (from its Primary DNS Suffix) then tries to find that full name via DNS.

When you lookup hosts in the child domain you want it to get to chld01.evora01.florasul.lan, and it will only do that if evora01.florasul.lan exists in a DNS Suffix Search List. As it is, it will try to resolve chld01.florasul.lan, fail, and show you the NXDOMAIN message.

> No, is necessary?

No, not really. I was just trying to find out where the IP you got came from. If you don't have WINS it's either local or the result of a network broadcast.

> Node IpAddress: [169.254.169.148] Scope Id: []

NbtStat is fairly convinced that it can find an interface with that IP address, very strange. Can you run:

nbtstat -c

And if you see the address listed can you run:

nbtstat -R

And finally, run nbtstat -c again?

It still finds it as an interface on your system.

Can you run regedit and search for 169.254.169.148? We need to find the interface using that address.

Does the system have multiple physical network adapters? And if so, I assume they're teamed? I wonder if one of those has the address listed even if it's not visible.

Chris
yes, server have two nics, but not in team. One nic have a cable pluged and the other not.

regedit found 169.254.169.148 in two folders (IP4 and IP7)
http://share.arqui300.com/storage/arqui300/ftp/reg.PNG

Can you completely disable the unplugged interface just to be sure?

I'd be surprised if it were there because of SQL server, although you may check the IP bindings for SQL server perhaps?

Chris
Ok, I disable this nic, check the output now

How can I check IP bindings for sql?

That looks much better. I would ignore the SQL part for now then.

The two ping commands above, one after the other? And does it work consistently now?
