Hi,

I have set up an Enterprise Root domain xyz.com and a child domain
abc.xyz.com under it. One of the domain controllers in xyz.com runs
AD-integrated DNS for both domains. This all works fine.

I'd now like to configure a DC at each site in the abc.xyz.com domain
to be a DNS server that can also update name records for abc.xyz.com.
In theory I should be able to have multiple DNS servers running on DCs
all able to share and update the abc.xyz.com zone... but how to set
them up?

I install DNS on an abc.xyz.com domain controller, then do an 'add new
zone' giving it the existing name abc.xyz.com which I assumed would
let it find a copy of the abc.xyz.com AD-integrated zone that already
exists. Not so.... a new empty zone gets created and it never sees the
name records that the original DNS server has.

So how is it done?? Help!

Many thanks....

R.

On the DNS server in xyz.com, you will create a new delegated zone called
abc.xyz.com. For the configuration, you will put in the name/IP address of
the DNS server(s) in the child domain (abc.xyz.com)

On the DNS server(s) in the child domain, you will create a zone called
abc.xyz.com, make it AD-Integrated, and configure DNS to forward to the DNS
server(s) in xyz.com. In TCP/IP, you make sure that the child server(s) are
using themselves for DNS

You restart the child DNS server for good measure.
