asked on windows 2008 DNS
Quick question --=- In DNS under forward lookup zones
I dont see a _msdsc.domain.local zone
under the forward zone domain.local, I see
_msdcs
_sites
_tcp
_udp
DomainDNSzones
ForestDnsZones
Is it important to have the _msdsc.domain.local forward zone, as I am missing it.
How do I put it back?
tried
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
nltest /regdns
verified register this connections address with DNS is selected
restarted netlogon
Nothing is putting the _msdcs.xxxx.local zone back.
dcdiag isnt reporting any issues other than
Starting test: systemlog
* The System Event log test
An Error Event occured. EventID: 0xC0002719
Time Generated: 09/26/2012 12:45:12
run repadmin /syncall /force
does not report issues
However some dcs cant replicate with each other when using the command
repadmin /replicate dc-01 dc-02 dc=domain,dc=local
gives
DsReplicaSync() failed with status 8452 (0x2104):
The naming context is in the process of being removed or is not replicated f
rom the specified server.

I am a tad confused.... Do I need the -msdcs folder at root of forward lookup zones, see below on how its setup. Is this okay? or does it need that zone
In DNS manager I have as follows:
SERVER1
- Forward Lookup Zones
** MISSING _MSDCS.DOMAIN.LOCAL
+ Some domain.com
+ Some other domain.com
- Domain.local
- _msdcs
+ dc
+ domains
+ gc
+ pdc
- sites
+ Default-First-Site-Name
_tcp
_udp
- DomainDnsZones
_sites
_tcp
- ForestDnsZones
_sites
_tcp

You don't have to change it to a zone if you don't want. Things will keep functioning. It's just a matter of it you want to continue with the old setup or if you want to change to the new setup.
