Guys,<br />
Hope you can help,<br />
We have an AD domain with the root domain being abc.local, we have added multiple child domains over the years with no issues, we have say us.abc.local, ca.abc.local etc.<br />
I wanted to create a new child domain us.abc.local the server is W2K8 R2, the first DC in the abc.local domain is W2K8, and with a mixture of windows 2003 DC's as well.<br />
The child domain created fine but when i tried to make the DNS zone au. Abc.local forest wide I get the error, i can change the server to replicate to all DC's in the forest but it doesn’t work.<br />
When i had the dc1.abc.local to the NS server is says &quot;the server with this IP address is not authoritative for the required zone&quot;. i have tried manually copying the zone (zone transfer) this completed but is not updated. We also have issues with site replication with the following error:<br />
<br />
The RPC service is not available, although I can ping by FQDN and NetBIOS.<br />
the other child domains and the root domains have however replicated to the au. Abc.local DC/DNS.<br />
I have a feeling it maybe down to IPv6or SP1 for W2K8 R2 not being installed, i have now installed SP1; I have also removed the DNS role from the server and re-added it with the same errors.<br />

DNS replication issues on W2K8 R2 Dc child domain

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.

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.
