I have no such option on either Windows Server 2003 or 2000 SP4. This facility may have been removed from later SPacks of 2K and from 2K3. Even so, and I am basing this on memory alone (or the lack thereof in this case), that mechanism did not create the zone on the target DNS server (and therefore did not configure it correctly for dynamic update or AD integrate it accordingly), it did not push the existing RRs from the parent zone into the target and it did not (and shouldn't) reconfigure the resolvers of the existing DCs and members (if it had done these things, I'm hopeful that I would remember such a capable feature and would also wonder why on earth it was removed).
In short (and IMHO), it would seem only to provide an inadvertent means of erasing an entire subdomain worth of RRs and is in no way a mechanism able to "_move_" existing, active, valid AD representative DNS content from a parent zone to a delegated child. -- Dean Wells MSEtechnology * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://msetechnology.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 12:59 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Installing DNS in Child Domain I go to the root DC/DNS server and in that zone is a child domain folder. I right click the folder and click "delegate" and browse or type in the ip of the child DC running dns and all is golden. The child domain folder then becomes grayed in the root dns zone and when you click on it, you get the soa with the child dc as a nameserver. I'm in a 12 domain forest(win2k mixed) and all my child dc's are dns servers authoritive for their respective domains. The root is only authoritive for the root zone and has gray delegation/glue records for the other domains. I must be missing something really obivious here as I'm no AD expert...
