You don't need to "move" DNS per se, but you do need to start the DNS service on at least one other DC in the domain.
It sounds like your clients are trying to use the bad DC as a DNS resolver. You'll need to fix their IP configuration to use another resolver. You should be able to do that through DHCP, assuming they use DHCP, or through a GPO setting. -g -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil Burroughs Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2005 12:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Domain Problems.... We have an unreliable DC within our root domain, it has a habit of crashing on a regular basis, it hosts our primary active directory intergraded DNS server and was the first server to be built within our root domain. We have transferred the Operational Masters roles, RID, PDC, Infrastructure, and Schema to another server but need to move DNS, or do WE??? I'm trying to get to a point where I can switch this server off and replace the hardware and reload, at the moment when I switch this server off, no one is able to login, and the domain becomes unavailable due to what I think is DNS related or is it..? Our current platform is a mixture of 2000 and 2003 servers, with all workstation running WinXP, we have three secondary DNS servers one within our root domain and two within our child domain, Please help Thanks Neil _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger 7.5 is now out.
