Persistent DNS Error (error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR) on W2K8

[mcdsweet98]

Hi there,

I am having this irritating problem which I hope to be able to solve.

I have 2 W2K8 R2 servers. Server A and Server B.

Server A was DCPROMO'ed and became a DC / DNS Server.

Server B is the WORKGROUP server waiting to join the domain of Server A which is mohd.aidil.harith

When I change Server B's WORKGROUP to Mohd.Aidil.Harith domain, the following error appears.

Prior to this error I have done -

1) Tracert on my DC and also on my client. It is able to resolve but problem didn't go away.

2) I restarted the netlogon services yet to no avail.

3) I changed my DNS IP on Server B to SERVER A's IP since SERVER A is the DNS yet failed.

I am a noob with DNS so I hope someone can give a detailed explanation on how do I go about this. It's been 3 days already.

Below is the error details

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for domain "mohd.aidil.harith":

The error was: "DNS name does not exist."

(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.mohd.aidil.harith

Common causes of this error include the following:

- The DNS SRV records required to locate a AD DC for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server automatically when a AD DC is added to a domain. They are updated by the AD DC at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses:

170.225.162.89

- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:

mohd.aidil.harith

aidil.harith

harith

. (the root zone)

I am a noob with DNS

Were the links that I gave you helpful ?

Would you like to have more, and similar links for " DNS for Newbies" ?

Would you perhaps care to stay and heavily debate or maybe even argue with me, giving me at least half a chance to do a trace ? ( On DNS Issues)

What is it that you do not understand about DNS ? Stay here and discuss it with me. (Dont be shy !)
