DNS - error message

[leobis]

Hi all,

I am trying to implement my environmental network, but I am not so familiar with DNS;I tried to delegate the control of one zone from one server (servertosh) to another (Server2000) but I am experincing the following error when I try to open the Dns server - see below

Access denied

You don't have the permission to access this Dns server. Only members of the Local Administrators and System Operator groups have sufficient permission. In addition, if the server is running on a Domain Controller, then members of the Enterprise Adm., Domain Adm. and DNS Adm. group have sufficient permissions. To retry the connection, either press F5 or on the Action menu, click Refresh.

What am I supposed to do? Would it be sufficient to add the Administrator account (of "Server2000&quot to the Enterprise Adm,Domain Adm. and Dns Adm. group of "Servertosh"?

My environmental network is composed as follows:

Server2000 is a Domain Controller and the its domain is: Tuscany.it

ServerTosh is a Domain Controller as well, and control the child domain: Hotel.tuscany.it

Thanks for your help.

It would seem to me that if you added your account to the Enterprise Admins group in both domains you should be good to go... Thanks,

Leobis,

From your post it looks as if you are saying that you want to delegae from the child to the parent...is this what you are trying to do? If so,

You cannot delegate from ServerTosh.Hotel.tuscany.it to Server2000.Tuscany.it.

Delegation must flow down...from top level domain to lower level domain.

Delegating a domain means that DNS queries on the existing domain will be referred to the name server in the delegated domain for resolution. You can only delegate down the hierarchy, so the delegated domain must be a subdomain of the domain doing the delegation.

I hope that I have not misunderstood your post.

Hi Patty,

Correct, you have not misunderstood my question; basically what I wanted to do, is delegating a zone from a lower level to a upper level, in few words from a child-domain to a parent-domain .. but I don't I understand why the message error seems to report a problem about permissions.

Have you ever experienced such a problem?

Thanks a lot to you mattwray

Hi Leonardo,

What account are you using when trying to gain access to the DNS console?

So do you want the Parent domain (Tuscany.it)to answer all DNS queries for your Child domain (Hotel.Tuscany.It)?

So, is your DNS working and you want to delegate control of the server to an account in the child domain? Just trying to clarify... Thanks,
