Change Name Server - Not updating?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.dns (More info?)

Have a server the DNS of the server is wrong, its AD Integrated and
the Name Server is wrong. I have edited the Name Server entry and now
it has put two entries, I have tried to delete both and put a new one
in, deleting them out and restarting DNS, but the old configuration
comes back.

Is it a case of removing AD and DNS and starting again or can this
issue be resolved?

Thanks in advance.

John

I don't have a clue, if you will post these the following.

1. Unedited ipconfig /all
2. Domain name from AD Users & Computers
3. List of Forward Lookup Zones from your local DNS server.

From these, I can tell you if you have a problem big enough to re-install
AD. It could be a disjointed namespace (fixable), could also be a
single-label domain name (can be made to work but it won't work right), or
it could be just a simple matter of using the wrong DNS in TCP/IP
properties.
