Third domain controller zeb2100 10/22/2008 5:09:17 PM I am in the process of setting up a third domain controller for my domain, and have a question about DNS. Should I make the third domain controller, and if so, when should I install DNS? Thanks for any help.

RE: Third domain controller James Yeomans BSc, MCSE 10/22/2008 6:28:00 PM Hi there, all dc's should have dns installed and an active directory integrated DNS zones should be implemented. Install the Dns service then run dcpromo to make it a dc and if your zones are AD integrated it/they will appear in dns on the new dc. Hope that helps James. -- James Yeomans, BSc, MCSE Ask me directly at: http://www.justaskjames.co.uk "zeb2100" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I am in the process of setting up a third domain controller for my domain, > and have a question about DNS.

RE: Third domain controller zeb2100 10/22/2008 7:58:07 PM Thanks for the info. That what I thought. Just one more question. Before running dcpromo i should point the dns to one of the other dns servers that has dns running on it?

RE: Third domain controller James Yeomans BSc, MCSE 10/22/2008 10:04:01 PM You should do yes otherwise the server won't be able to find any SRV records that specify dc's, gc's etc so wont be able to find the domain let alone join it and become a DC.

Re: Third domain controller "A, Deji" <deji[ at ]akomolafe.com> 10/23/2008 6:42:56 AM You already have 2 DCs. Presumably, you already have existing DNS servers. Before you promote the new DC, make sure that it is configured to use your existing DNS servers in TCP/IP properties. After that, it doesn't matter whether you do dcpromo first or install DNS first.
