More info?)
hi thx for the reply, this is what I get:
> set type=ns
> _msdcs.mo.org
Server: dc2.mo.org
Address: 192.168.0.10
mo.org
primary name server = dc2.mo.org
responsible mail addr = hostmaster.mo.org
serial = 60
refresh = 900 (15 mins)
retry = 600 (10 mins)
expire = 86400 (1 day)
default TTL = 900 (15 mins)
Before the crash I had 2 windows2003 DC (just 1 with DNS), the DC with the
DNS is the one that crashed (har disk failure) so I installed DNS (maybe
this installed the basic DNS and did not get ware of the windows2003 zones?)
on the second DC (remember I had 2) and then remove the first DC (the one
that crashed) via ntdsutil and re-create the first DC. I have confirmed
that, the onlye zones I see listed on the dns now are:
_msdcs,_sites,_tcp,_udp my goal is to list forestdns and domaindns. because
I am getting an error "the replication scope could not be set there was a
server failure" when trying to change the scope to all dns in the forest.
i also have confirmed via NTDSUTIL that I have 5 NCs:
Found 5 Naming Context(s)
0 - CN=Configuration,DC=mo,DC=org
1 - DC=mo,DC=org
2 - CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=mo,DC=org
3 - DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=mo,DC=org
4 - DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=mo,DC=org
I got this error when I try to enlist the DC.
C:\Documents and Settings\exchadmin>dnscmd dc2.mo.org
/EnlistDirectoryPartition ForestDnsZones.mo.org
Enlist directory partition failed: ForestDnsZones.mo.org
status = 9904 (0x000026B0)
Command failed: DNS_ERROR_DP_ALREADY_ENLISTED 9904 (000026b0)
Any other ideas?
thx
