Hey everybody,

I have testing the Windows 2003 Enterprise server (comes with my Visual
Studio Enterprise Edition License), I had run the role wizard to create a
Domain Controller, it also create the DSN server. When I run iterative test,
it say me there are a Fail, I also have tried the command based test, and
doesn’t recognize the server, however, when I ping in the server to the DNS
name it resolve the address.
¿What is wrong?. The people of Microsoft told me the server version I’m
running is not a full license, ¿could be this the answer?, ¿could I do
something to fix this problem?.

Configure a forwarder in DNS properties to point to forward to your ISP and
that should take care of the Iterative tests.

As far as being a licensed retail version or the MSDN version, DNS should
still work the same. The MSDN software is not meant for production, but
rather for testing, research, development and demos..

Thanks Ace for responding,
Then I’m could be sure my Windows 2003 enterprise version must works well.
I’m really a newbie on this, so be patient:
I run the wizard to create the DC and also the DNS servers, but when I run
the nslookup test tool it response time up DNS server can’t be find, but when
I ping the server name it answer correctly with it’s IP address, I have
tried to get information about but it’s hard, so if you can help me, I will
really appreciate.


Best Regards,

Make sure you are ONLY pointing to itself for DNS in IP properties. If it's
the local loopback address (127.0.0.1), change it to the actual IPof this
machines. Create a reverse zone for your subnet and make sure there is a PTR
entry for this machine's IP to it's FQDN, and this problem will go away.
