Does the Windows 2008 server Domain Controller have to be a DNS server ?
If the Windows 2008 Domain Controller does not have to be a DNS server, does that DNS server have to be Windows based ?
To practice I have installed two Windows 2008 Standard servers:
PLFALWS10 -- 10.0.0.10 and PLFLAWS30 -- 10.0.0.30 (DNS server)
While attempting to promote/install Active Directory using DCPROMO.EXE on PLFALWS10 I received the following error:
The wizard encountered an error while trying to determine if the DNS server with which this Active Directory domain controller will register supports dynamic updates.
The primary DNS server tested was: plfalws30 (10.0.0.30)
The zone was: test.local
The test for dynamic DNS update support returned:
"DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)
Cheers,
Peter
