RE: [ActiveDir] Segregating and delegating _msdcs

Title: Message



I'll
try to elaborate but much of the reasoning behind this is political or
sensitive 
in its nature :)
[BTW: 
I'm happy with the feasibility of the change but am looking more for best 
practices and known issues etc]
 
We 
currently have non-secure DDNS enabled in the a.test.com zone and wish to
enable 
secure DDNS. Whilst investigating the ramifications of this change, we have 
decided to segregate out the _ zones so we can safely enable secure DDNS on 
those zones whilst investigations continue for the parent 
zone.
 
Ultimately, both the _ zones as well as the parent zone itself will be 
managed by non-Windows DNS servers, but we will still require a split of _
zones 
since DDNS will only be permitted for those zones.
 
Now 
I've "spilled the beans" are you able to offer a response or a technote / KB? 
:)
 
Thanks,
neil

  technically, this approach is quite feasable - however,
  it's usually done the other way around. Many companies do this so 
  that they can safely enable DDNS on the _MSDCS zones (as AD integrated zone)
  allowing automatic service record, DC & Domain GUID registration etc., 
  while putting the host records on a (static) Bind DNS.
   
  So it would be good to know your reason behind your 
  request...?

  For various reasons we would like to split out 
  _msdcs and the other _* domains within one specific DNS zone, into separate 
  zones. These new zones will then, eventually, be hosted on non-Windows DNS 
  servers, whilst the 'parent' zone will remain hosted on w2k DCs.
  Our current environment is w2k DCs [in a  4 
  domain forest] so app partitions are not an option just yet. Root domain is 
  named test.com and 3 children exist, a.test.com, b.test.com and c.test.com.
We 
  wish to delegate the _ domains within a.test.com only to non-Windows DNS 
  servers, with a.test.com remaining hosted on w2k DCs..
  I have found fairly useful technotes etc and have
  started to flesh out a plan but wondered if anyone would be prepared to
share 
  any real world experiences of such an operation. i.e. how was the change 
  performed? Any pitfalls or gotchas? 
  Thanks in advance, neil
