Can't retire old DNS server justmark 6/15/2007 3:34:02 PM Here's my situation (covers about 5 years): 1st - installed a Windows 2000 AD with DNS installed on W2K DC; 2nd - installed Windows 2003 DC with DNS - still mixed mode AD - AD integrated ; 3rd - First DNS server starts to die, so we installed a new Windows 2003 DC with DNS; 4th - removed DNS service from original Windows 2000 server; 5th - problems resulted. It seems that the AD still thinks that the original server is a primary. Not sure what to do at this point to let AD know that the original DNS server is going to go away? Thanks, Mark

RE: Can't retire old DNS server justmark 6/15/2007 5:39:01 PM This is a first for me - I've found the answer myself (about an hour after posting but a week after starting to look). Turns out the first DNS server had two reverse lookup zones that weren't transfering to the other nameservers. I looked at them and found that they were set to primary rather than integrated. That was the problem... D'oah! Thanks, Mark
