hi n1k, i just wanted to know if you still had problems with your servers dns.we are currently covering win server/dns/dhcp etc.. at school and i could get some info on what could be the possible reasons for this malfunction. from the top of my head and with the limited knowledge that i currently have, i would have to say that if you are using WINS services,then is it possible you have mixed win server 2000 servs(prolly ure secondary DCs) and newer operating systems(primary DCs) on the network?could it be that ure new servers(running active directory) dont have their WINS services configured right so they could be backwards compatible with older server OS? n e ways,if the problem is fixed then disregard this post.
