SBS2011 Preferred and Alternate DNS Settings.

Hi.

Our client is using SBS2011 (A swing migration from SBS2003)

We are troubleshooting some DNS issues and when we run DCDiag /test:dns we get some erros.

Looking at their Network card settings I can see that their Preferred DNS server is the IP address of the server, but they have an Alternate DNS server IP address set to a DNS server of their Broadband Provider.

I am sure this is not correct.

Can anyone help / advise please.

Thank you
Regards
Andy

Thank you cliff
Just to clarify - this client has a checkpoint box, then a TMG firewall then their SBS box - do I still remove the alternate?

ALSO

would this existing configuration cause any DNS issues at all?

Thanks again.
Andy
