Yes that is correct, the fist zone created as AD integrated will move/create the DNS zone file into AD for future replication, then any others created will modify and or update from the replicated file. The speed that changes replicate depends on your ad setup (intra/intersite etc.)

I tried this once, but never saw anything propogate to the second DNS server. Perhaps I just didn't wait long enough? -----Original Message----- From: Callow, David [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 11:42 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active directory integrated DNS zones Ken AD integrated DNS requires you to set up the zones in both DNS servers but both must be AD integrated for the resilience to function... i.e. DC1 with AD integrated zone abc.net will move the dns file onto the AD partition. Add abc.net to DC2 as an AD integrated zone and it will copy down the zone file. After this you will be able to make DNS changes to either machine and they will use AD replication to keep the other DC upto date. If you have already instead your 2nd DC with a secondary zone you will need to promote it to become an AD integrated zone (properties tab of the zone itself) I hope this makes some kind of sense David Callow (MCSE) Snr Systems Engineer Delphis Consulting Plc -----Original Message----- From: Ken Cornetet [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: 25 January 2002 16:28 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active directory integrated DNS zones Yes -----Original Message----- From: Chris Green [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 10:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active directory integrated DNS zones Are the DNS servers domain controllers? Chris Green -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] On Behalf Of Ken Cornetet Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 9:38 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] Active directory integrated DNS zones I have two computers in two active directory domains in a forest: kii.kimball.com and ads.kimball.com. Each hosts their respective DNS zones as AD integrated zones. I'd like for each DNS server to handle both zones. The 2000 resource kit TCP/IP core networking book (page 379) claims that when a DNS server starts it loads all zones found in AD (if it is configured to get zone data from AD), but I don't see this happening. Each server loads it's own zone and ignores the other (even though they are both in AD). I've thought of two possible ways to get what I want: 1. Make each DNS server standard secondaries for the other zone. 2. Edit the registry key that controls which zone the DNS server loads. I've done #1 and it works, but I can't help feeling that this is just "wrong". I'm a bit leery of #2, but I may try it. Suggestions? Am I mis-interpreting the TCP/IP book?
