I would agree with this as the next step. I looked at the source for this once before and I don't think the .DNS file was actually read in, it was just dumped for admins to use as necessary. The .dnb I think might have been read though. I have had to delete those files in the past when I had used NLTEST /DSDEREGDNS to clean up some records and it never stopped trying to clean them up (I saw it in network traces) so I ended up blowing those files away and the problem was gone.

That's what I feared. I've been helping a couple of people in the groups with weird DNS errors after a domain rename. One in particular is apparently seeing the file being populated with both the old domain name and the new domain name... --Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wyatt, David" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 11:12 AM Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] NETLOGON.DNS > Hi Paul > > I asked Microsoft the same question as we were controlling SRV record > registration.
