restarting netlogon or registerdns does not work.
where is this copy of the root zone in my dns server. i don't think i
have it by default. i had to transfer it on my dns server back home.
also if i had it, wouldnt creating a AD intergrated dns server on my test
DC also have it?
i never had any gc srv records in my local domain zone, only in the root.
is this normal?

Hi Tom,
All register of AD Zones can recover with two
comand:
restart netlogon service or ipconfig
/registerdns
and all workstation will update your register in dns,
or dhcp will ..
In Windows 2000 is interesting you have a secondary
zone of your root in your local dns server,
In Windows 2003 you can set dns zone to level Forest
then this zone is replicated for all domain controller in the
forest.
Thanks for advanced.

i also get a "all gc's are down" error.
gc records are just registered in the root domain, i assume. i only
have a dns for my domain.
also dcdiag output says "the server is not responding to directory
service requests" though it holds a copy of AD.
how can i get around this? do i need a copy of the root dns zone? how
can i get this? can i export it to a text file and import it into my dns
server? can i somehow pull it from the config container in AD without being
connected to the root of the tree?
is this the cause of my woes?
it would be insane on MS's part to demand connectivity to the root of
the forest when restoring or doing DR on AD.
what did i screw up?
Thanks again for any help

I just restored AD. I had a test laptop, pulled it off the
network, ran ntdsutil, seized all 3 roles,ran metadata cleanup and removed
all my old dc's. deleted them with adsiedit and all dns records as
well.
then at the DR site, i set up new servers with the same
names as the old one's, ran dcpromo. however, the new servers get
dnslookup/rpc errors when i try to force a replication.
also, they fail a dcdiag because the guid dns name is not
present and the server "fails a directory request"
Also the srv records for kerberos and kpasswd do not appear in dns
for my domain.
The test laptop had an AD
intergrated dns zone pulled directly from my real network. However, it
just has the zone for my domain, not the forest root.
do i need this record as well to promote DC's. I'm not
connected to the forest anyway, but should i have the forest root records
too.
what am i doing wrong?
thanks
