Not listing all sites??? tke402 7/3/2007 1:04:01 AM Hi I have three sites. When I look at DNS under my forward lookup zone I only see Deafault_First_Site under the _sites section. There are only records for the DCs in my default first site in there. Should there be entries for my other two sites? Thanks, TKE402

(many people don't so we have to presume this MIGHT be the reason since you didn't describe your setup.) Is every Site described by the correct (set of) Subnets? Does every DC appear in the correct site? (If not, move it.) Is every DC able to find the dynamic DNS Master(s) which can accept the dynamic registrations? (i.e., find either the single Primary or one of the AD Integrated DNS Servers). Can every DC pass a complete "DCDiag /c" with no FAIL or WARN messages? Do any DCs have an external DNS server listed on their NIC-> IP properties? -- Herb Martin, MCSE, MVP http://www.LearnQuick.Com (phone on web site)

[Quoted Text] > yes I created them there and configured the subnets etc. [So why didn't you] confirm that you have every DC in the correct site? If there are no DCs then that site will not be added to DNS (as it has no real meaning in DNS without a DC.) At least one DC must be in a site for it to be added to DNS. Are there DCs in the missing sites when you view AD Sites and Services? IF so, focus on those DCs as the source of the problem. Likely you will find they are NOT using ONLY the Internal DNS Servers which can resolve the internal names AND allow for registration dynamically. What about the DCDiag tests I gave your to try? -- Herb Martin, MCSE, MVP http://www.LearnQuick.Com (phone on web site) > "Herb Martin" wrote: > >> >> "tke402" <tke402[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:3BF0189B-103F-45F4-B781-561ABDDCDCC8[ at ]microsoft.com... >> > Hi I have three sites.
