DNS Errors after domain rename

[sogood1]

Recently a coworker and I performed a domain rename on our domain and ever since there have been errors. I have managed to fix most of the DNS errors, but when i recreated the Forward Lookup Zone for our new domain, the _tcp, _udp, and _sites folders are missing, but the _msdcs folder is there. I've tried registering the DNS for the DC with starting/stopping netlogon and ipconfig /registerdns but nothing works. I ran a netdiag test and come up with the following DNS errors:

[WARNING] Cannot find a primary authoritative DNS server for the name
'XXXXX.red.local.'. [RCODE_SERVER_FAILURE]

--------------------
This error I believe is what is preventing the GAL from replicating to the other servers and clients, thus Outlook can't resolve names off the Exchange unless the connection was there before. New users can't connect and neither can old users who have new computers.

What can I do to make it work?

What is the DC's OS? you can't rename a domain if you are in w2k domain (native mode)

ok try this:

on DC/DNS:
close DNS console
net stop dns & net start dns & net stop dnscache & net start dnscache & net stop netlogon & net start netlogon (or reboot)
reopen DNS console...do all records appear yet?
check for any netlogon or DnsApi warnings or errors in the system log of event viewer

on clients:
net stop dnscahce & net start dnscache


you may need to delete teh old zone our of AD and ensure the new one appears....
for win2000:
go into adsiedit.msc (support tool)
drill to domain partition
drill to cn=system
drill to cn-MicrosoftDNS
does your new domain name exist in there? if not, you need to recreate your zone if it's AD integrated
does your old domain name exist in there? if so, delete it

tolling domaindnszones and forestdnszones take more explanation so let me know if you need that


also, what was the old domain name? it appears your new one is red.local....but what did we change from? There are registry settings that cache the domain a machine belongs too as well...and a reboot of the clients is needed to update the domain information held on them...so make sure its nothing simple like that first
