I have backed up the register the zones from the systems32/dns and the forward and backward look ups.<br />
<br />
I have imported the backs reg, Placed the zones in the appropriate folder but I am missing something. I do get an error<br />
<br />
The DNS server was unable to open zone _msdcs.LILYPAD2 in the Active Directory from the application directory partition ForestDnsZones.LILYPAD2. This DNS server is configured to obtain and use information from the directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and reload the zone. The event data is the error code.<br />
<br />
the old server was a domain controller called LILYPAD2. The new server has a &nbsp;controller called ALTERNETB &nbsp;burt I thunk that should be LILYPAD2 as well. Can I add a 2nd controller based on this server and make it LILYPAD2 ? Help please ASAP.

dns server wk2003 is dieing and have built a duplicate (will upgrade once dns on 2003 is stable.)

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).
