Please anyone!!!

Here is the error Log,

Event Type: Error
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 6702
Date: 4/27/2004
Time: 1:43:18 PM
User: N/A
Computer: BRIDGE
Description:
DNS Server has updated its own host (A) records. In order to insure that its DS-integrated peer DNS servers are able to replicate with this server, an attempt was made to update them with the new records through dynamic update. An error was encountered during this update, the record data is the error code.

If this DNS server does not have any DS-integrated peers, then this error
should be ignored.

If this DNS server's ActiveDirectory replication partners do not have the correct IP address(es) for this server, they will be unable to replicate with it.

To insure proper replication:
1) Find this server's ActiveDirectory replication partners that run the DNS server.
2) Open DnsManager and connect in turn to each of the replication partners.
3) On each server, check the host (A record) registration for THIS server.
4) Delete any A records that do NOT correspond to IP addresses of this server.
5) If there are no A records for this server, add at least one A record corresponding to an address on this server, that the replication partner can contact. (In other words, if there multiple IP addresses for this DNS server, add at least one that is on the same network as the ActiveDirectory DNS server you are updating.)
6) Note, that is not necessary to update EVERY replication partner. It is only necessary that the records are fixed up on enough replication partners so that every server that replicates with this server will receive (through replication) the new data.
Data:
0000: 2d 23 00 00 -#..

Replication Partner??? I dont get it....

Please...

No offense but you nerver posted back to thread96-816953 so people assumes you have solved your problem and keep quiet.

Try this, from the command promt:

netsh int ip dns local static 10.10.10.3 primary

local -> is the Local Area Connection of your only NIC

you can also use the whole name by including the quotes:

netsh int ip dns "Local Area Connection" static 10.10.10.3 primary

So if you rename the Local Area Connection then use that name accordingly.

How many servers do you have?

Glen,

I have only the 1 server,

Ricpinto,

I couldnt get your command to work, apologies for not replying to my own thread, Ive been trying to solve the issue, and I thought people would of been bored....!!

Thanks guys,

 

[ricpinto]

I think I missed the 'set' it should be:
netsh int ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 10.10.10.3 primary

Anyway I'll test tomorrow coz i'm on leave today.

 

[TheSponge]

Thankyou,


I will also try....

 

[ricpinto]

Because I can't test, I ask a friend and he confirmed this syntax is working but the sp should be sp4:

netsh int ip set dns local static 10.10.10.3 primary

Just in case it works run netdiag/fix again.

 

[TheSponge]

No Im afraid the problem still exists, Perhaps I should just reformat the server and start from scratch!

Never done that before, but theres a first time for everything.

Unless anyone has any last minute suggestions..

Thanks

 

[ricpinto]

I've tried the command and it will not work on SP3 only SP4. Before blowing up the server, just for the heck of it , try reinstalling sp4 or disabling/removing/reconfiguring RAS because your DNS is pointing to RAS IP 10.10.10.61 as a default and you don't have a DNS with IP 10.10.10.61, what you have is a dns with ip 10.10.10.3 that's why you have all those errors. What we are trying to accomplish is how to point DNS to your NIC(Local Area Connection - 10.10.10.3) as a default. Anyone?

 

[TheSponge]

ricpinto,

Ok Ive got a little further, The 10.10.10.61 RAS has now gone,

I stopped and restarted RAS on the server, and it went, so thanks for that, (Routing and remote access still works)

nslookup still doesnt work,

The current IPConfig is now:

-------------------

So why do you think it doesnt know the DNS name of the domain? Should I have any WINS address put in on the wins tab on the server?

Thanks

It appears that your machine (Host name bridge) is not part of your domain or does not have a host record associated with it. If it were part of the domain your connection specific DNS suffix would be bridge.icpsolar.icpsolar.co.uk. Within DNS you need to have an A (host) record that resolves bridge to 10.10.10.3

 

[TheSponge]

How do I get a host record that resolves Bridge to 10.10.10.3?

Im not sure how?

Thanks

 

[rlgaooa]

To add a Host record on the domain controller go to Start Programs Administrative Tools DNS. Double Click your server, double click forward lookup zones, right click the name of your domain, click new host, In Name type bridge in ip address type 10.10.10.3, make sure you check Create associated pointer(PTR)record if you have reverse lookup zones and click add host.

 

[TheSponge]

I went in and it already exists? so does the mysterious 10.10.10.61?

and when someone has remotely connected to my server (I just tested it) none can see the domain, only the name of the PC that has just VPN ed in??? wierd...

Thanks,

PS Id love to fix this one day, thankyou to all so far!
