No DNS on 2nd Domain Controller
2nd Domain Controller DNS server missing Zones. 1st has Forward Lookup Zones. 2nd doesn't. Do I need to add it manually?
ASKER
Tried to integrate and got the following error:
dnscmd dchostname /ZoneResetType ad.company.com /DsPrimary
Command failed: DNS_ERROR_INVALID_PROPERTY 9553 0x2551
dnscmd dchostname /ZoneResetType ad.company.com /DsPrimary
Command failed: DNS_ERROR_INVALID_PROPERTY
Do you run your command with elevated rights ? Not only connected as admin, you have to run cmd with admin privileges.
Is it just DNS or AD and DNS? did you configure primary DNS as your existing DNS while installing?

Ah! Found the issue. For some reason the 2nd DC pointing to the first for its NIC's primary DNS server. But the Alternate was listed as 127.0.0.1 I left it blank. Not sure why it provisioned itself that way. I removed it and flushdns on both. Not I can see all identical zones on both. Thanks!

Glad to help. :)
If integrated zones, they are replicated with AD mechanism.
