Re: missing dns records such as _msdcs and getting error 5781 on win2k dc

Is the DNS-Server Service installed and running? Does the Forward-Lookup-Zone (same as the dns-domainname) exist? Is it set to allow dynamic updates? Is there a zone _msdcs.yourdomainname.com, or is _msdcs underneath the zone yourdomainname.com? If there's a _msdcs... Zone, is it configured to allow dynamic updates? If you canged anything above, restart the netlogon-service on all DCs. Verify that there's a CNAME-Entry underneath _msdcs with a GUID. -- Gruesse - Sincerely, Ulf B.

Same problem, resolved: New Server w/ W2000 Adv Server, SP4. Setup exactly like the previous server. (Basically a hardware upgrade) The problem described was caused because I did not have the server's IP address in the local network IP as the DNS server. I added it and placed it at the top above the other two DNS addresses provided by the DSL provider and then did a restart on the DNS service, then a restart on the Logon Service. Everything appeard as it should have. In the future, I'll install the Server OS, then the drivers, then set the DNS single entry to the server. Then, run DCPROMO. Later, I'll add in the two outside DNS servers, BELOW the local DNS server. |

I don't know what transpired in your thread, but as an FYI, NEVER use any other DNS server other than the DNS server that hosts the AD zone or expect numerous problems. Remove the IPs the DSL provider gave you. ONLY have your internal DNS server in all machines' IP properties ONLY. Go to your DNS server, open the DNS console, rt-click the server name, choose properties, choose the Forwarding tab, and supply those DNS addresses the DSL provider gave you. Click Ok and you're good to go with efficient inside resolution so you can insure AD works properly, as well as outside resolution where your DNS server is forcing the DSL provider's DNS to resolve outside n ames for you. If not sure how to follow those steps, please read the following article.
