Hi Mike, the gray one is the delegation of the zone. The _msdcs ist a subdomain of your forest root. Because it is needed all over the forest it is delegated.

In DNS admin I see two zones. One for _msdcs.example.com with all the usual _msdcs records and one for example.com which incedentally has an NS record for _msdcs.example.com. The little folder thingy for this _msdcs is grey which I guess signifies that it's some kind of link to the other zone? So I understand why the _msdcs records other than the one NS record are not transferring but I don't understand why the structure is split into two zones and if I can/should do something about it.
