DNS Problem - Urgent

[SteadySystems]

I changed internet hosts for my domain luckystarusa.com. We had one ISP hosting our domain and email. I changed over to infinology to host our domain name and email over the weekend. I setup all the new email boxes and they work fine. However, I am noticing several DNS errors on my windows 2000 server box:

Event Veiwer - DNS Server Log

EventID - 4004
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4004
Date: 5/3/2004
Time: 7:17:04 AM
User: N/A
Computer: LUCKYNT2000
Description:
The DNS server was unable to complete directory service enumeration of zone luckystarusa.com. This DNS server is configured to use information obtained from Active Directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and repeat enumeration of the zone. The event data contains the error.

EventID - 6702
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 6702
Date: 1/21/2004
Time: 4:45:36 PM
User: N/A
Computer: LUCKYNT2000
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.

And in the System Log there are several of these type of messages, I will paste a few:

EventId - 5774
Event Type: Error
Event Source: NETLOGON
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5774
Date: 5/3/2004
Time: 7:31:05 AM
User: N/A
Computer: LUCKYNT2000
Description:
Registration of the DNS record '1e785ce0-0faf-4307-958b-7a653fde3c43._msdcs.luckystarusa.com. 600 IN CNAME luckynt2000.luckystarusa.com.' failed with the following error:
DNS RR set that ought not exist, does exist.


Event Type: Error
Event Source: NETLOGON
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5774
Date: 5/3/2004
Time: 7:11:48 AM
User: N/A
Computer: LUCKYNT2000
Description:
Registration of the DNS record '_kpasswd._udp.luckystarusa.com. 600 IN SRV 0 100 464 luckynt2000.luckystarusa.com.' failed with the following error:
DNS server unable to interpret format.

Nothing has changed on our server, I only changed domain hosting name servers. When I go to network properties for the NIC the DNS listed are:

Use the following DNS Server Addresses:
Preferred: 192.168.1.198 (which is Ip of server)
Alternative: 65.242.224.2

and then under advanced DNS I have:
192.168.1.198
65.242.224.2
65.242.224.3

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Daniel

Kinda sounds like you may be pointing on the DC to the external DNS servers in addition to or strictly. All Pc's and servers should point to your DNS server explicitly for DNS. The DNS should have the forwarders turned on and pointing to your DNS ISP's DNS servers. Also I have found it necessary to check the box to turn off recursive looks ups.
