Hi all
I've renamed a domain using the rendom utility. All appears to have gone well,
but I now get 5781 Netlogon errors in the System event log complaining that it
can't register DNS records associated with the old domain. This doesn't appear
to affect anything, but I'm keen to know why this is happening.
The SRV records for the new domain name are all registered correctly (AD
integrated DNS).
If I look in the netlogon.dns file I see records representing both the old
domain name (let's say old.com) and the new domain name (new.com).
The old zone was AD integrated, so I've trawled through AD looking for
references to the old zone, but I can't find anything. I've looked in the
following locations, but all seems normal, i.e. references to the new domain
name.
CN=MicrosoftDNS,CN=System,<DomainDN>
DC=DomainDNSZones,<DomainDN>
DC-ForestDNSZones,<DomainDN>
I've tried clearing the server cache, but no joy.
I've tried deleting the netlogon.dns and netlogon.dnb and restarting the
netlogon service, but that didn't help. Each time the newly created
netlogon.dns contains records corresponding to the old domain.
The netlogon log file (with debugging turned on) contains the following
references to the old domain:
10/17 14:26:18 [DOMAIN] NlUpdateDnsRootAlias: Updating DnsDomainNameAlias from
(null) to old.com
10/17 14:26:18 [DOMAIN] NlUpdateDnsRootAlias: Updating DnsForestNameAlias from
(null) to old.com
Any thoughts on where the old domain information might be coming from?
Tony
