Yes, and if you "tried" that already you missed something.
First, let's eliminate the obvious: Is this a "secondary" DNS server?
If so, then we must ensure it is pulling from the Primary where
those subdomains are created.
Second, just to confirm: This is a Win2000+ DOMAIN enviroment,
and the DNS zone that supports it, right? (If not, then the underscore
zones are not only irrelevant but never created.)
Ok, once we have that, then the rules I gave you MUST work.
Most likely reasons they would not:
You forgot the "Dynamic" setting on the DNS server
You didn't set the DC to use STRICTLY this Dynamic DNS
server (set)
The DNS Primary and Secondary cannot talk to each other
for some reason...
For whatever reason, the DC is registering with one DC and
this isn't getting replicated.
Also, try running DCDiag.
BTW, most common after someone says "did that" is the second
one where they either list the wrong (or no) DNS server or
multiple (external AND internal) DNS servers on the DC.
The DCs must list ONLY the "Internal Dynamic DNS server" (set).
