When trying to add a BDC to my domain I kept receiving an error stating that the PDC either did not exist or could not be contacted. After some research I realized my DNS server on the PDC was not set up correctly. Its missing the
_msdcs
_sites
_tcp
_udp
folders under the Forward Lookup Zones node with my domain name.
When I installed Active Directory on the PDC I let DCPROMO set up my DNS for me since one didn’t exist yet. Anyway, somehow the domain is bearly functioning correctly because I didn’t realize this untill I tried to add a BDC 6 months later.
Is there anyway that I can repair the DNS records to the correct state without reinstalling AD.
This is the only Server on my comapanies network so I dont want torisk losing any accounts or the like.
I’d be glad to answer an other questions someone may have if I’ve left some relevent information out.
Thanx
