DNS SRV Records 1

[Paulreg]

Hi
I have just installed DNS on my W2K DC. Up until now DNS has been handled by a unix server so DNS was not installed with AD. My problem is that none of the SRV records are appearing in the DNS zone. I have found a file called netlogon.dns in my \system32\config folder which looks like it may have the entries I need for this DC at least.
How can I get the correct SRV records into my DNS from all my DCs ?
Thanks
Paul

Make sure your DCs are pointing to your Windows DNS server for primary DNS. Secondary DNS should be blank (do not point it to the Unix server or your ISP).

Also make sure that dynamic updates are enabled on your forward lookup zone.

If you make any changes, run 'ipconfig /flushdns' on and then 'net stop netlogon & net start netlogon' on the servers to force them to register the SRV records.

Many thanks. Its working now.
I had the secondary DNS pointing to the unix server and dynamic updates were disabled !
