DNS error with my Domain controller
When I run a dcdiag /q on my sole DC, i get the following error
the host 1423423-cc80-xxxxxxxx._msd cs.domain. local could not be resolved to an ip address. Check dns, DHCP, server name, etc.
.......................... .. IMDC01 failed connectivity test.
I have deleted the _.msdcs records, all DNS zones, recreated DNS zones, restarted DNS services and netlogon service, which recreated all the _msdcs records. Yet same problem.
Anyone have any ideas? The dns IP is correct on the card.
This was a restore, and I believe there are issue with the recovery. How do I clean up or have the DC fixed?
I have read the netdiag /fix would do the trick, yet I can not locate the executable on windows 2008 R2 to use it.

Does your DNS on the NIC point to 127.0.0.1?
If this is a recovery of a failed DC you may need to perform a metadata clean-up... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc816907(WS.10).aspx

Along with others,
Post ipconfig /all of server.

are there any errors in the directory services event log or the file replication event log ?
