kevin_lane Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 i don't know if any one else has came across this but for some reason some of our kids can get on the Internet and then some cant if you have 1 zone on the primary dns server zone called zyx.local and in an active directory integrated do you need to setup zone transfers from the primary and 2ndry server cus i'm sure you have too don't you ?? (don't like this integrated stuff even though i know its good) as some times our internal traffic isnt getting resolved e.g. our intra net site. even though nothing has changed in dns or dhcp dns thats sets the dns for the kids. but what is also weird our department can get on the Internet with out any probs and we have rebooted the servers last night but still have this prob
DMcCoy Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 if its AD integrated and DNS is installed onto an additional server then you can cancel the zone wizard during install and just wait for it to add the zone itself.
kevin_lane Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 so you dont need to do a zone transfer then as its intergrated
kevin_lane Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 but how come some of our kids computers cant resolve the intra net page
DMcCoy Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 but how come some of our kids computers cant resolve the intra net page what does a nslookup of the address thats not working tell you? What's the ipconfig /all output?
kevin_lane Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 the ip adress all point to the same server 10.25.8.2 and 10.25.8.4 thats all staff and all students i've done querys on the dns servers and they all pass this is on my comp N:\>nslookup Default Server: ntserver.westpark.local Address: 10.25.8.2 kids comp N:\>nslookup Default Server: ntserver.westpark.local Address: 10.25.8.2 says the same thing
kevin_lane Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 just tried doing nslookup http://www.google.co.uk and saying no-existing domain ?
DMcCoy Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 are the forwarders set correctly on both dns servers?
srochford Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 The other thing to check is that the DNS server thinks it's OK - in the management console, right click the server, do properties and then monitoring - tick both tests and see what happens.
kevin_lane Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 yea forwarders are ok its also internal problem as well on ntserver (primary) i think the recursive query fails but before that the both say pass date time simple query recursive query 31/1/08 11:24:29 pass pass 31/1/08 11:11:22 pass
DMcCoy Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 try a few nslookups using your isp's dns servers to see if one of them is failing, it could be those that are at fault if all your local lookups always work
