by the way we installed a new DC, maybe the sync was not completely done by the time the strange thing I mentioned on bullet 2 happened.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a child domain ex: child.parent.com<br />
from a computer member of that child domain, when I run Nslookup child.parent.com, I get :<br />
server:dnsservername<br />
address:10.x.x.x<br />
<br />
Name:child.parent.com<br />
adresseses: all ip adresses of my Domain controllers [they don't have ADzone intergarted]<br />
<br />
<br />
1- why in address it shows all DCs IP addresses?<br />
<br />
*some DCs when I ping their ip address with revers lookup : ping -a 10.x.x.x, it replies with gc_msdc.parent.com<br />
2-why it doesn't reply with the computer name of the DC and why it returns the gc_msdc.parent.com instead of gc_msdc.child.parent.com<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks

DNS Nslookup

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).

Windows Server 2003

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
