Simple answer: It is by design. In
windows 2003, if you have a DNS zone, the DCPROMO process won’t create a
_msdcs.domain.com. You have to manually create it. To create a
_msdcs.domain.com after the DCPROMO, create a new forward lookup zone called
_msdcs.domain.com and restart the Netlogon service. It will automatically
move all the _msdcs subzone to newly created _msdcs.domain.com zone. And the
_msdcs subzone will become a delegated zone. My recommendation: Create a DNS zone first
and make sure everything ok before do the DCPROMO. I don’t like the
fancy DCPOMO+DNS method. Santhosh From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nathan Casey I am setting a
lab to test AD migration and have a question about _Msdcs.domain.com Zone
Creation. Why does the
_Msdcs.domain.gov zone not install when dcpromo is run with DNS already
configured. How can I create the _Msdcs.domain.gov zone. what is the best
method for configuring DNS on first DC in forest root domain? configure DNS,
then run dcpromo? or let the dcpromo process configure DNS? Thank you Nathan
