Active Directory - Adding a Domain Controller Issue
I was able to get the Domain registered under its name (i.e. xxx.xxx) but I find when I go to register the DC with AD it will not find the Domain Name and mentions a DNS issue. (An AD domain controller xxx.xxx could not be contacted. Ensure DNS name typed correctly). We use external DNS provider and not a local DNS server for our Centers. The way I was able to get the DC to register under the Domain was to use a local address for DNS but this will nto work under AD as it still says unable to contact DC. I am however, able to ping the main DC just fine.
I am sure a few of you have had these issues , but what would be a possible resolution to an issue like this one? Thank you in advance...
Please let me know if you need more info and what you will need...
