If the DNS zone that is missing was a AD integrated zone then the other DC should also be empty. If not, then it sounds like you have AD issues.
You should not have to seize the roles and rebuild since the server is still up and running. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Fronk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 11:47 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: DNS GONE!!!! Frack me You should be able to delete the zone and re-add it. If you are using DHCP and your clients are configured to register to DNS, the list should repopulate, except for any alias or static entries. Are the DNS services running? Did you try a reboot first? What does the event log tell you?

Frack me I have two DC's... DC(1) Holds all the FSMO roles and runs DNS, and DHCP. DC(2) is a second GC and also runs DNS. DC(1) has lost all of its DNS information. Is empty. Whats the fastest / best way to recover from this? 1. Can I uninstall create a new zone and sync from DC(2) 2. Restore just the DNS from tape 3. Since there is no DNS on DC(1) I'm betting that transfering roles from DC's are not going to work. Computers atm are able to log into the domain but exchange is down.
