Hey everyone

I get the following warning in SBS Best Practice Anaylser: "The DNS name
server records do not exists. The forward lookup zone DOMAIN.local does not
contain any DNS name server (NS) resource records with SERVER.DOMAIN.local
for the _msdcs delegation."

How can I fix this entry in dns-manager and what values do I have as
standard in this tree for an SBS 2008 Server?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Simon

Open DNS, right click the grayed-out _msdcs folder under domain.local, choose properties. What nameserver is in the properties? It should be the server itself, server.domain.local.

If that is not in there, it could be a configuration issue causing it. To better help, post an ipconfig /all, and any event log err EventID# you see.

Thank you,
