You misunderstand, I didn't mention a separate namespace (nor did you for that matter), I said a distributed namespace. In addition, you don't need to change the _msdcs.<forest root>'s scope to that of the forestDNSzones app. NC, that's its default.
As I understand it, the poster's goal is to distribute the DNS infrastructure in order to mimic that of a much larger enterprise deployment. This requires many more steps than have been provided ... a replicating directory is often the gauge used by many to determine if their DNS infrastructure is correctly configured and adequately distributed, in reality, that is by no means sufficient. -- Dean Wells MSEtechnology * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://msetechnology.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Santhosh Sivarajan Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 11:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Installing DNS in Child Domain I wasn't taking about a "separate" name space. Child.test.com is a child zone in test.com zone. In Window 2003, you can change the scope of _msdcs.test.com to forest wide. Then all the child domain will receive a local copy of _msdcs.test.com.
