Hi there,
We are a school who's IT support company have gone under which has left us
in the lurch. I have a sufficient knowledge to sort out most problems but I
dont have much "in the field" experience of DNS. Here is our problem: -
We have a single name domain name which we know causes problems with dynamic
DNS entries, but our event viewer is chocablock with DNS errors which I have
detailed below: -
event id: -6702
DNS server has updated its own host (A) records. In order to ensure that
its DS-integrated peer DNS servers are able to replicate with this server, an
attempt was made to update them with the new records through dynamic update.
An error was encountered during this update, the record data is the error
code.
If this DNS server does not have any DS-integrated peers, then this error
should be ignored.
If this DNS server's Active Directory replication partners do not have the
correct IP address(es) for this server, they will be unable to replicate with
it.
To ensure proper replication:
1) Find this server's Active Directory replication partners that run the DNS
server.
2) Open DnsManager and connect in turn to each of the replication partners.
3) On each server, check the host (A record) registration for THIS server.
4) Delete any A records that do NOT correspond to IP addresses of this server.
5) If there are no A records for this server, add at least one A record
corresponding to an address on this server, that the replication partner can
contact. (In other words, if there multiple IP addresses for this DNS
server, add at least one that is on the same network as the Active Directory
DNS server you are updating.)
6) Note, that is not necessary to update EVERY replication partner. It is
only necessary that the records are fixed up on enough replication partners
so that every server that replicates with this server will receive (through
replication) the new data.

I believe this error originated when our support company installed a new
2003 DC last summer, all roles were changed to the new server with our old
2000 server being made redundant (but still being used as a print and file
server). I have checked the DNS console of the old 2k server and DNS is not
being replicated to it....maybe its trying to replicate but cant??
The new 2003 server has the following DNS config: -
Forward Lookup Zone: -
AD integrated
Rerplication - To all domain controllers in AD *domain*
Updates - non-secure and secure
Zone Transfers - not configured
Reverse Lookup zone (we have 3 zones listed, one for 10.0.x.x subnet, one
for 0, one for 10 and one for 12 {we use a dhcp scope of 10.0.10.x to
10.0.12.254}
The config is: -
Ad integrated
No zone transfers
updates are secure only and replication is to all DCs in *domain*
The other thing is that under forwarders we have a local address for our SME
gateway/mail server which i presume then uses the correct forwarders (we dont
have nay problems with resolving names out on the internet).
Can someone please let me know either how to fix this problem or reassure us
that this wont cause any immediate problems in the future.
The other thing we would like to know (seeing as we're on the smae subject!)
is this; our SME email server/gateway enables us to connect to it from our
homes to read our email. The address to get it it mail.domain.com/webmail.
We aren't able to access this for testing purposes from inside our LAN, do I
have to insert an A record pointing to the FQDN in DNS or is ther something
else Im missing?
Many many thanks in advance if you can help!
