I'm working on the premise that at present all DCs and members resolve
against a single DNS server running on the DC in the forest root that was
created during the promotion of the very first DC. You've since promoted a
new DC and created a child domain named child.test.com. This DC also
resolves against the DNS server running on the DC in the root domain.
Is that summary accurate?
Have you altered the default configuration created by DCpromo in anyway or
did you create the current DNS structure manually?
Does the A record for the child DC exist, this is a known bug that would
cause anything we do from this point (excluding the use of BIND zone files)
to fail -
- expand the zone on the root DNS server
- locate the entry 'child.test'com'
- two A (host) records should exist, one named after the DC itself
the other, 'same as parent'
Once we have this information, the steps to distribute your DNS namespace
become relatively simple.

Hi,
I am using windows 2003 standard edition.
This might be the requirement when you have distributed domain model.
Say Root and child domain are in separate remote location. So reduce the
traffic I need to have separate DNS on my child domain controller.
So do I configure DNS on preinstall Child domain controller ?

Windows offers no automated solution for this type of restructuring, the
premise being that any organization with a need for a more distributed DNS
infrastructure needs 1) the technical staffing sufficient to create it and
2) same said staffing to support it.
Before making any recommendations as to the direction you should take, can I
ask on what version/flavour of Windows you're building this lab environment?

Subject: [ActiveDir] Installing DNS in Child Domain
Hi,
I have installed a root domain controller "test.com".
Then I have installed a child domain controller: child.test.com" with
primary DNS as test.com. So a zone child.test.com automatically added in my
test.com DNS.
I want to install a separate DNS for child domain, and want to set child as
primary DNS and root as secondary DNS.
To do that I Installed DNS service on my child domain controller.
So what is the best way to install the DNS on child domain?
Do I do a ZONE transfer by delegation or some other easy process?
Thanks,
manjeet
