I posted this under Windows Server DNS, but I feel that it's more of an AD
issue so I'm reposting it here.
I have just added a new domain controller (Boston002) to my network to
replace the old one (Boston001). Currently both are still on the network,
because I'm reluctant to remove the old one because of some DCDIAG errors I
get on the new one. The old one does not get this error.
Errors in DCDIAG:
Starting test: Advertising
Warning: DsGetDcName returned information for
\\boston001.CMIT-Boston.l
ocal, when we were trying to reach BOSTON002.
Server is not responding or is not considered suitable.
I've been reading this message board for a while and one post suggested that
I run
dcdiag /test:registerindns /dnsdomain:FQDN /v
which fails on both servers, old and new. But, I'm not sure how to follow
the recommendations which are as follows.
Starting test: RegisterInDNS
This domain controller cannot register domain controller Locator DNS
records. This is because it cannot locate a DNS server authoritative for
the zone FQDN. This is due to one of the following:
1. One or more DNS servers involved in the name resolution of the FQDN
name are not responding or contain incorrect delegation of the DNS zones;
or
2. The DNS server that this computer is configured with contains
incorrect root hints.
The list of such DNS servers might include the DNS servers with which
this computer is configured for name resolution and the DNS servers
responsible for the following zones: FQDN
Verify the correctness of the specified domain name and contact your
network/DNS administrator to fix the problem.
You can also manually add the records specified in the
%systemroot%\system32\config\netlogon.dns file.
......................... boston002 failed test RegisterInDNS
DNS is integrated with AD and running on both servers; I originally set up
the new server's DNS to be transferred from the old one. Does anyone have any
recommendations for how I proceed? Many thanks in advance.
