RE: [ActiveDir] dns issues

More likely DNS than WINS. Trying bouncing the new Server, then restart netlogon on it (in case the MS04-011 is hurting you), then check DNS for the relevant SRV records. I know you said you looked in DHCP, but I have to ask if you made sure that the dead DC is no listed as a DNS server in your DHCP scopes. And, after the client have connected in "Safe Mode", what does nslookup say?

 

Lastly, anything in eventlog (on both server and clients?

I had my primary fsmo role holder(pdc,infra,rid) go down. It was also a dns
server(ad intergrated). i ran ntdutil and removed the server from AD. I also
had another dns server running. 
I transfered all the fsmo roles to this server. 
Now however, i have a ton of what i think are dns issuses. I have clients
who are stuck at "applying security settings" and never logon(however, they
can when in safe mode with networking).
also, i tried to join a workstation to my domain and it gave me a "connot
contact domain" error.
the clients are all pointing to the new dns server via dhcp.
there are no errors in the dns log or in directory services log.
this is a child domain and the zone was delegated from the root.

what gives?
thanks
