I've just moved our small domain from NT to Server 2003 via an intermediate
PC on which I installed NT Server, upgraded to PDC, then to 2003 Server,
then to DC. I then added a new 2003 machine as DC to the domain, and then
removed DC role for the intermediate machine, and removed the old NT machine
and the intermediate machine from our network. I think I screwed up the DNS
slightly.
On start up of the new 2003 DC, I'm getting an Event ID 4007 with error
message
"The DNS server was unable to open zone _msdcs.somename.mydomain.com in the
Active Directory from the application directory partition
ForestDnsZones.somename.mydomain.com. 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."
I ran dcdiag to try to find out more
TEST: Delegations (Del)
Warning: DNS server: oldname.somename.mydomain.com. IP:
<Unavailable> Failure:Missing glue A record
Now oldname was the intermediate machine, which is no longer there. I looked
in the dns management tool but could not find this server
oldname.somename.mydomain.com mentioned anywhere. How can I fix this ?

Tony
