Should my DNS in AD be updateing?

by jonathon.johnson . Updated 16 years, 9 months ago

In an AD enviroment where the DNS gets and updates information from AD; Useing ADSI Edit, should the key(s) under DC=,CN=MicrosoftDNS,CN=System,DC= have my current DNS’s (terminology may be way off)? The DNS server that’s there is the old system, but it seems whenever I remove the old DC (with DNS) the whole network goes to crap and randomly people can’t login anymore, etc. I believe this may be the cause for this, but I am not sure. None of the new DNS servers are showing there either.

When I look at DNS, it shows all three DNS’s (1 old, 2 new servers) and the GC records are all correct. So honestly, I’m not sure where or how it happened, but that’s how it’s setup now.

Alternatively, in AD Users and Computers it’s under –>System–>MicrosoftDNS–>.

Also, should I have something other than the default root DNS servers in the RootDNSServers part? All that’s there now is the defaults and I’m running an intranet.
