multiple _msdcs zones


hi all, it's easy explanation.

the environment single forest / single domain.

all dc's dns servers, , either 2008r2 or 2008.

both domain/forest functional levels windows server 2003.

whenever 1 of dcs rebooted, see event 4515 logged in dns logs

the zone _msdcs.domain.com loaded directory partition domaindnszones.domain.com copy of zone has been found in directory partition forestdnszones.domain.com. dns server ignore new copy of zone. please resolve conflict possible.

when run adsi edit, can see in both forestdnszones.domain.com , domaindnszones.domain.com

is normal? if not, problem?

when check zone in dns manager, ad integrated, , replicated dns servers in domain

 

 

 

thanks awinish.

it seems current dns zones domain replicated, can see of them in forestdnszones domaindnszones

there aren't cnf or in progress though, proper duplicates according ace's blog.

he states option 2 must followed in case, not state why. happens if delete zone forestdnszones without unchecking option box store in ad? will it break things?


yes, delete dns zones. creating application (forestdnszones & domaindnszones)directory partition, stroing zone information there & can use option replicate domain or forest wide. hence, deleting zones w/o removing store info ad, delete zones. also, cautious, take backup & if not sure, try in lab.
