Hi, I just wanted to clarify something before recommending it to the client.
If you are not installing the DNS server during the DCPROMO, it won't create a new _Msdcs.domain.com zone automatically. I am going to recommend creating a _mscdcs.doamin.com before the DCPRMO. If you do this it will automatically populate all the records in the appropriate zones, then change the replication scope to forest wide. I wanted to make sure I am doing the right thing. I am using Windows 2003 DNS. Is there any other option out there other than configuring _mscds zone manually? I don’t plan to install DNS during the DCPROMO. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks in advance.
