Slave download

[mjpearson]

I've been trying to use NSLOOKUP to obtain machine names from my corporate folks (I'm trying to set up local DNS server) and it just doesn't want to work. The corporate DNS sytem is DHCP in Windows environment. I have yet to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I use NSLOOKUP and point to the corporate DNS server:

"SERVER DNS.CORPDOMAIN.COM"

I then use the "LS -D CORPDOMAIN.COM" and I receive the response:

"*** Can't list domain CORPDOMAIN.COM: query is refused."

Am I doing something wrong or is it some sort of security feature that the corporate folks have installed?

ONe usually only allows transfer to one's secondaries. They need to allow it.

Thanks EGP,

That makes sense, I guess. So, I think you're telling me that I need to get the corporate folks to register my machine as a secondary to their domain in order to download.

Thanks,

Well, they can just enable transfer for you. (you don't have to become an official secondary).
