I have been having some DNS replication issue on my 2003 Server for some time now. Most of the issue affects my windows 7 deployment, but Group policies/scripts works on the existing Win XP systems.
I decided to configure a new 2012 Server and promote it to primary. It is still a secondary service but again I am having replication issues.
THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY, PLEASE HELP!!
I did a DCDIAG /TEST:DNS and I got the following errors:
C:\Users\administrator.UGATL-MAIN>dcdiag /test:dns
