DNS error

by dakheelaa . Updated 25 years, 2 months ago

We installed windows 2000 in the latest server we bought, and it is running OK, but we are receiving the following error in the event viewer:
The DNS server was unable to add or write an update of domain name _gc in zone samad.com to the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and add or update this domain name using the DNS console. The event data contains the error.
When we check in the TechNet we found an article (Q252695) saying that we have to move theglobal catalog or the DNS server to a different domain controller or Do not integrate the DNS server that is hosting the global catalog with Active Directory.
But ,unfortunately we have only one server which is compatible with windows 2000, the rest of our controllers are NT, and we are running in a mixed mode.
We need help.
