~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The E2k3 server has its primary DNS point to a DC/DNS server in the child domain and its secondary DNS points to the empty root DC/DNS server. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bad idea. Let the Exchange server point to the DNS servers for its domain, and let the DNS servers forward to the next level.

I had an incident today that I really can't quite understand â please helpâ Background: I have an empty root domain and a child domain. The child domain has an E2K3 server in it. The E2k3 server has its primary DNS point to a DC/DNS server in the child domain and its secondary DNS points to the empty root DC/DNS server. Situation: The empty root DC/DNS server had a power failure (we have other servers in this domain). During the time when the empty root DC/DNS server was off I had to make changes to a particular users email address. I was unable to make any changes and received an error: the server is not operational - Exchange Extension. After getting the empty root server back online I was able to make changes and everything is fine. Probably something simple â BUT WHAT AM I MISSING? Also, on a different noteâ I was hoping that you all could suggest some patch management solutions that you use. I don't know if this request is bad etiquette or notâ if so, please email me offline with info. We're in the middle of finding a good patch management solution for our servers and I was hoping to get some direction on good software from the field. Thanks in advance!
