How to create SRV record for Domain Controller

[ulyses_96]

I am running active directory with 3 domain controllers

busfile2 running 2008 and has RID and PDC roles

busprint2 running 2003 has schema master domain master and infrastructure
master roles

busfile running 2003 . no roles

lately i have had all kinds of problems. computers cant connect to shares,
no replication in domain, i checked DNS ( which runs on a different computer
) and found SRV entries for busprint2 and busfile

there are no entries for busfile2.
Question: How can i re-create SRV entries in DNS for busfile2? ( i think
this would solve my problem).

any help welcomed! thanks!

Actually SRV creation is completely automatic. There are no manual
intervention required whatsoever. There are simple rules to follow to make
it work that are comprised of a series of simple configurations, settings
and guidelines that must be in place in order for it work. So this tells me
there are configuration problems in your infrastructure. Also what concerns
me is you are saying that DNS is on a "different" computer. What computer is
it on? Is the computer a domain controller?

Mainly I see this if any machine (DC or client) is pointing to an ISPs or
some other DNS server that doesn't host the AD zone name or have some sort
of reference to it (secondary zone, stub zone, or conditional forwarder).
Reason why, is AD stores it's resources and service locations in DNS in the
form of SRV records (those folders with the underscore in them). They are
used for a multitude of things, such as finding the domain when a client
logons, domain replication from one DC to another, authentication, and more.
To illustrate, if a client queried the external DNS for internal domain
information, it will not be able to supply the info. Also, if there is a mix
of internal and external DNS servers in ip properties, because of the way
the resolver service works, mixed results will occur.

Here is a summarized list of possible causes:
1. Single label name DNS domain name (extremely problematic).
2. SRV records missing (obviously due to mis-config)
3. Disjointed namespace.- AD domain name doesn't match the Primary DNS
Suffix and/or the zone name.
4. Using an ISP's or some other DNS server that is not hosting the AD zone
or that doesn't have a reference to it, in IP properties of the DCs and
clients.
5. DHCP Client service disabled on the DCs (a required service even if
statically configured)
6. DCs are possibly multihomed (more than one NIC not teamed - extremely
problematic)
7. 3rd party firewalls blocking traffic between the DCs
8. Antivirus software blocking functionality
9. Antispyware blocking functionality
10. etc....

Therefore it will be difficult to assist without seeing some configuration
information. To better assist, we'll need some configuration information.
Please post the following to better assist.

1. Unedited "ipconfig /all" of all three domain controllers.
2. The Active Directory DNS domain name (the FQDN) as it shows up in the
ADUC console.
3. What type of server is DNS installed on?
4. The spelling of the zone name being used for AD in that other DNS server.
5. Any errors in the Event logs on the DC under System, Replication Service
and Directory Services (post the Event ID# and Source names please)
6. Dcdiag /v /fix > c:\dcdiag.txt (post the dcdiag.txt as an attachment)
7. Netdiag /v /fix > c:\netdiag.txt (post the dcdiag.txt as an attachment)

(Netdiag and Dcdiag are part of the Windows Support Tools available on the
Windows CDROM.)

Thank you,

[ulyses_96]

Thank you for your reply.

the problems im encountering are on a subdomain of the main domain.
the subdomain doesnt have it's own dns servers. all servers and clients
point to the dns server which is running on our Main domain controllers.
i did a dcdiagnose /test:dns from one of the domain controllers in teh
subdomain and got this log. but it doesnt say how to fix it.
im also getting replication errors etc.

Then they need to host the DYNAMIC Zone that corresponds to this
(sub) Domain.

While unusual for a different domain to hold your DNS servers it is
not impossible -- it is howeve a practical necessity to use DYNAMIC
DNS Zones for the AD domains and let the DCs register themselves.

Thank you for the dcdiag output. This is telling me more than likely name
resolution is not working and/or connectivity is being blocked.

Dcdiag will NOT tell you how to fix it. It is a status reporting tool to
help diagnose issues.

So you are saying that the child DCs are pointed ONLY to the parent DC/DNS
server(s)?

Is there a firewall between the child domain and the parent domain?

What Event log errors (post all of them including the EventID# and Source
names please).
Please post the following as well to get a better handle of your
infrastructure config:

1. Unedited ipconfig /all from two of your DCs in the child and two DCs in
the parent.
2. The exact zone name spellng in DNS in the parent and whether updates are
allowed on the zone.
3. Does the child domain name show up as a folder under the parent domain
name in DNS?
4. The AD DNS domain name as it shows up in ADUC on the parent and the child
DCs.
5. If the SRV records exist under the parent zone.
6. Any errors in the Event logs on the DC under System, Replication Service
and Directory Services (post the Event ID# and Source names please)
7. Dcdiag /v /fix > c:\dcdiag.txt (post the dcdiag.txt as an attachment)
8. Netdiag /v /fix > c:\netdiag.txt (post the dcdiag.txt as an attachment)
9. More than one subnet? If so, describe the connectivity and components
(firewall, VPN, T1, ADSL, SDSL, cable, FIOS, dialup, etc etc)
10. Forwarder(s) configured?
