New DNS Server

Hey All,
We are looking to create a new DNS server. I am wondering what other people are using for DNS.
We currently use Linux bind.
We do not want to use windows DNS
Thanks

DNS Host record of a computer is deleted after you change the DNS server assignment

Hi All,
This is a critical bug in Windows 7/Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2. Is there any way to get rid of it? I am planning for for a deployment with new DNS server IPs.
Thank you.

Reinstall DNS server

I have a single forest single domain Windows Server 2003 AD environment. I have multiple domain controllers at my remote sites. I had to remove a failed DC which was also the DNS server for that local segment. I'm reinstalling DNS on the new server. How would I reinstall DNS and do I need to?

Hello,
Thank you for your post here.
From the description, you want to demote the DC with primary DNS service in the site and install a new DNS server.
1. If you want to install the DNS service on another DC in the site, you may simply install the DNS service role and create the DNS zone. Records will be automatically presented as the domain zone is AD-integrated.
2. If you want to install the DNS service on member server in the site, you may create a secondary zone for the Domain DNS zone and configure it to replicate from the DNS server in other sites.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.

New HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw network connection impacts DNS server of my ISP

Hi,
i am not well with english, so please sorry
I have deliverd new HP LaserJet Pro M127fw to my client who have 3 PC-s Win7 64bit, one 4 port switch, and one TP-link ISDN modem-router.
I have installed the printer over network and everything is done well. Printer is working in printing/scanning/fax/ and copy.
In few hurs local ISP has called and said that his DNS server is impacted by something from local LAN. After investigating, i have fount that printer is doing impact to DNS of ISP. When i remove LAN cable from printer, everything is fine with network
I have installed new frimware from HP.com. also I have change Admin pass. The new up to date software is installed.
Still have problem, and no solution. For now printer is working with USB connection, but that is not a option.
HP please help!

Hi @ITMračunari ,
I see that you are having issues with the printer connected by a Ethernet cable to the network, the printer is impacting the DNS of ISP. I would like to help.
Turn the IPv6 off on the printer to see if that will help.
Go to Setup, Network Setup, Network Services, IPv6 and turn it off.
This is a Consumer product and has been proving to work with a direct connection to a router.
I noticed in your post that you are also using a switch, which could possible cause other conflicts.
Hope this helps.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Proper Configuration of DNS server for our new branch office

Hi All,
Our new office will setup a new branch office with a routed network link to our HO. In HO, we have 2 domain controllers configured as AD and DNS just for fail over scenarios.
How will we configure the DNS server of our 3rd domain controller which we will placed in the new branch office. What would be the proper settings of DNS server integrated to AD to work well especially to have a successful replication and communication to
the 2 DC's located in HO?

Hi,
If you have multiple DC's in that site i would recommend using any of the partner DC's IP addresses as preferred one and secondary DNS IP to pointing to itself. Dont use loopback addresses configure it with actual IP addresses.
If you have only one server in branch office point itself as the primary DNS and HO DC as secondary and tertiary.
Make sure that all clients in your branch site are pointing to the branch DC as primary DNS server.
Regards,
Rafic

New Windows Server 2012 unable connect to Netlogon Service or update DNS records

Hi everybody, all of my Windows Servers 2012 decided to collapse after innocuous group policy update that was meant to make user passwords more secure.
The AD and DNS seem to be functioning "normally", I am able to add new Windows7 and Windows Server 2008 machines to the domain, I can see them in listed in the AD and DNS record are update correctly, however, as soon as I try to join Windows Server
2012 it breaks.
The event log is littered on the new server with:
The system failed to register host (A or AAAA) resource records (RRs) for network adapter
with settings:
           Adapter Name : {DB7F73CE-E011-4F3C-BEBC-2CE7A871DF51}
           Host Name : CHEETAH
           Primary Domain Suffix : somedomain.com
           DNS server list :
192.168.0.5
           Sent update to server : <?>
           IP Address(es) :
192.168.0.15
The reason the system could not register these RRs was because the update request it sent to the DNS server timed out. The most likely cause of this is that the DNS server authoritative for the name it was attempting to register or update is not running
at this time.
You can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing 'ipconfig /registerdns' at the command prompt. If problems still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator.
and
Name resolution for the name _ldap._tcp.Default-First-Site-Name._sites.dc._msdcs.somedomain.com. timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
When I try to ping the primary DC (WS2003) it fails, the Secondary DC (WS2012) responds.
The >nltest /sc_query:somedomain.com on Windows Servers 2012 returns:
Flags: 0
Trusted DC Name
Trusted DC Connection Status Status = 1311 0x51f ERROR_NO_LOGON_SERVERS
The command completed successfully
yet it works on all other machines.
I tried removing 2012 servers from the domain and rejoining - without success. The cookie crumbled when I added two new installations of Windows Server 2012 & 2008 and 2008 worked fine but 2012 showed same symptoms.
There is one peculiar thing that I had noticed on all Windows 2012 machines, it constantly showing "Workplace Connection - Connecting" in the networks pane on the right side of the screen, which I can't say i ever noticed before.
Unfortunately, the secondary DC is a multihoming server with Direct Access role - I am not sure if this may play some part but our existing configuration worked for a year now without any problems. Issue appeared when I changed the password complexity rule,
which boggles the mind. I wonder if there has been some other changes in GPO that did not propagate from years ago and finally comeback to break things.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Hello Ace, i wish you a Happy New Year! I hope your break was enjoyable and filled with cheer.
In the end I had to bite the bullet and reinstall all troublesome servers. Your recommendations from above removed some serious problems with the DA and DNS resolution.
I was able to attach new server to the domain without any problems and begin painful process of rebuild.
I have promoted TIGER to full DC controller role, but having some issues with replication. Although running >repadmid /showrepl gives positive
feedback, the sysvol folder on the secondary DC is empty.
Also there is a couple of warnings in the event log:
Event ID 4012
Log Name: DNS Server
Source: DNS-Server-Service
The DNS server is waiting for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to signal that the initial synchronization of the directory has been completed. The DNS server service cannot start until the initial
synchronization is complete because critical DNS data might not yet be replicated onto this domain controller. If events in the AD DS event log indicate that there is a problem with DNS name resolution, consider adding the IP address of another DNS server
for this domain to the DNS server list in the Internet Protocol properties of this computer. This event will be logged every two minutes until AD DS has signaled that the initial synchronization has successfully completed.
- which has not repeated since 3rd of Jan.
These events occur on the primary DC every few minutes:
Event ID 1030
Source: Userenv
Log Name: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that describes the reason for this.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Event ID 1058
Source: Userenv
Log Name: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=somedomain,DC=com. The file must be present at the location <\\somedomain.com\sysvol\somedomain.com\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>.
(The network name cannot be found. ). Group Policy processing aborted.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Should sysvol folder be shared on the secondary DC? Another interesting thing to point out is that
\\somedomain.com\sysvol\somedomain.com\Policies\ can be access
from all other machines except the DC1.
Cheers!
kind regards,

DNS Server does not resolve new generic Top Level Domain names- CNR configuration issue?

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the correct community to post this question, but I will give it a try. I noticed that the users of my network cannot resolve web sites using new top level domain names, like ".education", ".international", etc. I have an internal DNS server made by Infoblox and a Cisco CNR v6.3.3.1 as an external DNS server. Infoblox uses CNR as its forwarder and CNR uses the root DNS servers for queries.
I would think that CNR was the problem because it is an obsolete product but after speaking with a fellow engineer at another organization where they still use an older version of CNR than mine, they have no problems at all. So now I am thinking it is a setting either on Infoblox, or on CNR I need to change. I can see Infoblox is forwarding the requests to CNR but that's about it. I am not sure if CNR is discarding the request. When I do an nslookup from a PC in my network it does not matter if I set my DNS server to be the Infoblox or the CNR. Neither resolves the URL.
Then again, no matter what I lookup using the CNR as my DNS, I only get a response with the root DNS names and IPs!
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Constantinos,
Have you taken a look at the infoblox community site? We've just reposted your question there and alerted some internal SMEs that should provide a solution soon.

New Edge server fails with DNS lookups - incoming mail stuck in queue

I just setup an Edge server, together with 2 Ex2013 servers with DAG. Sync works fine, however incoming mails are stuck at the edge server. The queue looks like this:
451 4.4.0 DNS query failed. The error was: DNS query failed with error ErrorRetry
Checking the logs, it also shows errors like this:
2014-07-12T16:32:06.599Z,08D16C05D02E2774,SMTP,"ex2.internal.contoso.com,ex3.internal.contoso.com,ex4.internal.contoso.com",>,DNS server returned ErrorRetry reported by 0.0.0.0. [Domain:Result] = EX2.internal.contoso.com:ErrorRetry; EX3.internal.contoso.com:ErrorRetry; EX4.internal.contoso.com:ErrorRetry;
2014-07-12T16:32:06.599Z,08D16C05D02E2774,SMTP,"ex2.internal.contoso.com,ex3.internal.contoso.com,ex4.internal.contoso.com",-,"Messages: 0 Bytes: 0 (The DNS query for 'SmartHostConnectorDelivery':'ex2.internal.contoso.com,ex3.internal.contoso.com,ex4.internal.contoso.com':'e01d6f93-e25b-4e36-9f2f-c1c7c73889ae' failed with error : ErrorRetry)"
Now the network is a little special, as the edge server is not in DMZ, but simply in a workgroup in the same LAN as the other Exchange servers. The edge server NIC's are configured to use the internal AD DNS servers, and the edge server is able to lookup
all the other exchange servers (ie. ex2.internal.contoso.com).
So I wonder why the edge servers logs DNS lookup errors as long as the server it self can lookup the internal hostnames for Exchange.
Any help would be great, as all incoming mail is now stuck at the edge server.

I should note that all the Exchange servers are behind the same public IP, I just use NAT in my firewall to seperate the ports (50636 and 25 into the Edge server, 80/443 into the CAS/MBS server).

Moving from Exchange 2007 to 2013 (leaving the DNS Server for it's own dedicated server)

Hello! I am quite new to Exchange and Server management in general. I will do my best to explain my situation.
I am looking to move my Exchange server off of our DNS server. When we installed them on the same server, we did not have the funds to buy 2 separate servers. I am told that it is best to separate the two. I have followed the Microsoft instructions for installing
the prerequisites for Exchange 2013 on a 2012 R2 server, and i am at the point where it wants me to configure AD LDS. As I have active directory running on the current server, I was a little hesitant to just install it without understanding what i am doing.
After the AD LDS is configured, I believe i can move forward with installing Exchange 2013 (all 3 roles will be hosted on the new server), export the mailboxes from 2007 server and import them into the new Exchange 2013 server. After 2013 is up and stable,
I plan on removing 2007 from the old server (DNS server).
What are my next steps after importing the mailboxes? Am i missing important details that I need to change or migrate?
My biggest fear is that nothing works after the installation and moving the mailboxes over. For that case, it makes sense to keep 2007 installed as a fallback for when my installation fails and all i have lost is just my time :)
Current Server:
Windows Server 2008 Standard (64 bit)

2. Software: Exchange 2007
New Server:
Windows 2012 R2 Server
1. Roles: ???
1. Software to install: Exchange 2013
Thank you for any help you can provide!

These are good resources, but i am still caught up with the active directory issue. Am I able to keep the old Domain/DNS/Active directory on it's current server and move Exchange 2007 off onto a new server (with Exchange 2013)?
In the first example, he is moving everything (domain controller, exchange, users, etc) onto a different server and decommissioning it.I've been told that it would be better practice to keep the domain and exchange on 2 different servers. Is this true?
I go to run commands like:
.\setup /PrepareAD /OrganizationName: orgname /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
on the new exchange server, as a prerequisite and it doesnt recognize the command - even after following the steps before. Is this because the new server is not a domain controller? does it have to be? What are the best practices for setting up a server(s)
with exchange + domain controller?
Thanks for responding.

Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding [and I'm at my wit's end!]

I originally posted this question to the community section and was advised to post it here. Please bear with me as this will be a long post. I'm including the scenarios involving this reoccurring issue, the trouble shooting steps I've already
taken and the results of several diagnostic tools and logs.
I have a Sony VAIOS VPCEBB33FM lap top since 2011. I have had this issue on an off for a long time. I'm at my wit's end. Any new insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Scenario Details
1) Some times it's on and off through out the day, sometimes it won't work all day, and once in a while it will work fine for the entire day.
2) I've had this issue across several wireless services, Clear Network accessed with WiMax, Library Wi-fi, Comcast cable internet using wireless router and Wi-fi, and Comcast Xfinity Wi-Fi, to name a few examples.
3) Other devices in the household or library will work with no problems such as my smart phone or my roommates' laptops or desktop computers.
4) Once in a while, the built-in wireless adapter is not found and I have to reinstall the driver. Also the diagnostic tool has had to reset my adapter on an increasing basis.
5) I had my hard drive replaced in December 2014 and my system restored from the System Restore disks that came with it when I bought the laptop. Even though I've been online on an infrequent basis it worked just fine for a while. Now that
I've been online a bit more I'm having the same issues again.
Below are my attempts at trouble shooting so far but I still have not been able to consistently resolve my DNS issues
1) Restarting my adapter
2) Turning off my laptop and removing the power supply for 5-10 minutes before turning it back on.
3) Using the IP Config in Command Prompt
     ipconfig /flushdns
   ipconfig /registerdns
   ipconfig /release
     ipconfig /renew
4) Using the NetSh reset in Command Prompt and restarting my laptop
     netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
     netsh winsock reset
     ipconfig /flushdns
     [restart laptop]
5) Configuring the TCP/IP in several settings
    Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click Properties.
    I have used the following settings:
       a) Obtain an DNS server address automatically
       b) OpenDNS
           208 67 222 222
           208 67 220 220
       c) Google DNS
           8 8 8 8
           8 8 4 4
6) Updating the driver for my Intel Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6250 AGN and Intel Centrino(R) WIMAX 6250 from the Intel website previous having my laptop wiped clean in 2014. It still did not resolve the issue. My laptop
manufacturer as not come up with an driver update for my adapter since 2010. I haven't tried to update the adapter driver from Intel's website since having my laptop repaired due to the fact that Intel strongly recommending using the manufacturer's updates
instead and frankly it didn't make much of a difference when I did it the first time.
7) The last one I've tried as of today is going into Services and changing the start up type to automatic for the following:
       Computer Browser [changed from manual to automatic]
       DHCP Client [already set to automatic]
       DNS Client [already set to automatic]
       Network Connections [already set to automatic]
       Network Location Awareness [changed from manual to automatic]
       Remote Procedure Call (RPC) [already set to automatic]
       Server [already set to automatic]
       TCP/IP Netbios helper [already set to automatic]
       Workstation [already set to automatic]
...and I'm still having DNS issues.
My only guessing are that my laptop came with a lemon adapter that needs to be replaced, some advanced setting(s) that I'm not aware off, or my firewall/anti-virus is interfering. I've used Symmantic Anti-virus and Firewall in the past and currently
Avast Anti-Virus with Microsoft Network Firewall. I've had DNS issues with both anti-virus/firewall set ups.
Below are the results from the diagnostics and tests that I've ran.

DNS Server problems with ASA 5505

Hi guys,
we setup a new ASA 5505 which is mainly used as our VPN gateway. The ASA is configured and controlled by our ISP (and this is where the problem starts )) and they somehow cannot manage to get the VPN settings really working.
So, here is our problem.
our machines(Windows 7) are configured to get the network settings through DHCP (Windows 2012 Server).
Before I connect with AnyConnect to our VPN gateway, the DNS Server setting in the network settings for the adapters(IPv4) are set to 'dynamic'
When I now connect, this setting is changes to a statc entry (which is our DNS server).
When disconnecting, it is not reverted back, which means I have to do this always manually.
What I do not understand is the fact, that the DNS server is set for all the adapters, shouldtn't it be only set to the anyconnect adapter?.
The interesting thing is, that when I connect to a different ASA, this does not happen. The ISP is now saying, that the machines are configured exactly the same and that they cannot reproduce, but I can't believe this.
This issue shows up at every machine which connects to our vpn, so it is not only a single machine which might be misconfigured.
Do you have any idea what might cause this issue?
btw, the second ASA (which works) is from our partner company, so we cannot simply copy the config
THanks in advance
Patrick

Nice to see someone from BT has addressed your issue
I have this exact same problem, seems completely bizarre, I'm pretty sure I had the same problem with the original home hub (i have the latest one now). Can you confirm whether the problem does affect anyone with a bt home hub and not just the one that the dyndns is pointing at? I'll try and confirm by hitting your domain from my home connection.

Hi everyone,
I just bought a new AirPort Express and Comcast is my ISP. I ditched my old Belkin wireless router, connected the Comcast modem directly to my AirPort Express, and it appears to be working great. I can access the internet wirelessly and also play music using AirPlay through my stereo speakers.
However, when I open the AirPort Utility, the utility tells me that I have two problems with my AirPort Express:
Apparently I have no internet connection (the utility tells me that "Your AirPort base station does not have a valid IP address."), even though I can access the internet just fine.
I don't appear to have any DNS server addresses (the utility tells me that "This AirPort base station doesn't have any DNS server addresses and might have trouble connecting to the internet.")
Does anyone know if these are serious problems that I need to address, or can they be ignored? I don't want to start tinkering with the AirPort Express's settings until I am better informed, because right now everything is working as far as my access to the internet is concerned.
and I tried to :

Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.
BUT NOTHING IT STILL SHOWS NO INTERNET CONNECTON on my capsule and NO DNS SERVER ...
I have tried to HARD RESET it resets ( with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN) and it connects to internet, it also says setuo complete in airport utility but once I go back into Airport utily cause Time capsule is still flashing amber it says NO INTERNET CONNECTION and NO DNS SERVER ...
anyone has any suggestions PLEASE and Thank you

Check the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express. Make sure that the Ethernet connection from the Comcast modem is connected to the WAN port on the back of the AirPort Express. The WAN port is the one with the circle of dots shown over the port.
It sounds like you are connected to the Ethernet LAN port.

External DNS server not replicating records to secondary after migration from 2003 to 2012

Hi
I have a query relating to 2012 Server and DNS.
Last week we de-commissioned our primary external DNS server (Windows 2003 Server) and moved the role over to a new Windows 2012 server.
Since this point replication to our secondary server (3rd party hosted) does not seem to occur and our DNS records seem to have expired on the secondary server as we cannot look these up via nslookup.
I cannot see any failures in the event log of the server; I have checked our external firewall logs and nothing is being blocked inbound/ outbound as far as I can see. And the server’s local firewall has been disabled.
The server is a standalone server in a workgroup with a standard filebased primary zone, with no AD integration and recursion disabled.
When I created the zone I copied the .dns file from the old server and selected this in the interface during the creation of the zone on the new server. The new server has the same internal and external IP as the old server and the old server is off-line.
I have also manually increased the serial number of the zone and still no joy.
One thing that I have noticed is when I open the zones properties/Name Servers and click edit on the external nameserver I get the infamous "The server with this IP address is not authoritative for the required zone" error.
Any help Would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Nice to hear that you are close in finding the problem. So in short:
You have enabled Zone transfers in DNS management console for the applicable zone
You have verified that your DNS is listening to the correct interfaces
You have enabled firewall rules to accept TCP and UDP traffic to port 53
You have checked if "BIND secondaries" option is applicable to your case
You have initiated a zone transfer from the secondary server

How do I close an open DNS Server

I have received an email from my internet provider stating I have an open DNS Server and my network has been used to attack other networks (DOS) Denial of service. I can't figure out how to secure my network. or close the open DNS server.

You should at least update your Mac to 10.6.8 although I am not sure there are any particular security issues that would be there.
Of course running later OS is always better.. as the latest security updates are implemented in the most recent OS.. but I am not sure one follows the other as some weaknesses are introduced as well in later OS. Any security updates should certainly be installed.
The main point is what modem and what router do you have?
There are a number of these notices being sent to users with apple routers which are hard to believe can be involved. It is more likely the ISP equipment. But we cannot really help you with exact details of your network .. or any more precise details the ISP has given you.
Ring up and talk to their technical help dept. and ask for their help. Even if they won't help you fix apple router.. put the modem in router mode or buy a new modem with router mode and change the apple router to bridge.. then the issue is not caused by you and the ISP can remotely adjust their own box.

Externally Hosted DNS - How do I set up my 2003 DNS server for sub domain to point to internal IP address??

I have a domain name(domain.com) DNS hosted at my ISP. I also have 3 sub domains DNS hosted at the same ISP pointing to various external ip addresses (mail.domain.com, vpn.domain.com and ts.domain.com). We want to set up sales.domain.com to point to an
internal 10. IP address. We have AD integrated DNS servers for our 2003 AD domain. The AD domain name is totally different than the hosted domain name in question. I currently edit the host file for a couple of PC's but this isnt practical company wide so
I want to add entries on our internal AD DNS servers to resolve the locally hosted site. If i recall, someone once told me that you cannot just put an A record for one sub domain, I would have to have entries on my 2003 DNS server to resolve anything related
to the domain.com name. Is this accurate? If so, what is the proper way to configure my 2003 AD DNS server to resolve anything domain.com related for my internal users while still allowing my ISP to do the DNS lookup for the internet.

On my 2003 AD integrated DNS server...i rightclick forward lookup zone and choose...new zone..primary zone (store zone in AD checkbox checked)..i chose to all DNS servers in the AD domain for replication...zone name sales.domain.com....allow secure updates
option....then i added an A record in that zone...sales.domain.com..pointed that towards my internal 10. IP address...is this correct? It seems to be working correctly for the sales.domain.com DNS record...and i tested the other sub domains...and those look
like they are going to my ISP for DNS resolution...
Is this the correct procedure? I did this on a test AD domain and not my production...i want to make sure i dont break everything under the domain.com by incorrectly adding 1 sub domain..
