I assume you created the proper named forward zone, this happened to me once. Make sure the zone allows dynamic updates.
Once the new server is pointing to itself for DNS run net stop netlogon and net start netlogon from the command prompt. This should re-register the proper SRV records. You might want to run ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns to clear out any stale DNS data.

Well the big problem I faced was that I never installed DNS on the second domain controller. I decieded to go ahead with the FSMO promotion and everything was seized just fine. But now I sit with no DNS (I installed DNS before the Seizer of roles) but it is not creating any Zones. I have tried to create a new Zone but it keeps looking for the downed server? Any help in this would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Aaron Visser List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
