Short history, I have two 2003 domain controllers that I am retiring. Two newer 2008 R2 servers are replacing them. In the process of moving everything over I ran into a few issues, but was able to work through almost all of them. Right now the old 2003 servers are only member servers with all roles transferred to the new 2008 R2 servers. At one point I was getting errors about the _msdcs zone so I followed a couple of guides to re-create it which got rid of the original errors. Then I started getting errors with event ID 4010:
The DNS server was unable to create a resource record for ba82ef0f-5263-488d-a526-0e799335df5b._msdcs.domain.local. in zone domain.local. The Active Directory definition of this resource record is corrupt or contains an invalid DNS name. The event data contains the error.
I was getting one error for each active domain controller at that time (one old and two new ones). I was able to use ADSIedit to fix one of them about a month ago by following the instructions to delete all of the records in the ForestDnsZones and DomainDnsZones in ADSIedit. That worked perfectly back then. Now I ran dcpromo on the second 2003 server to retire it, and wanted to use ADSIedit to remove the old records as well, but noticed something really strange.
When I connect to dc=domaindnszones,dc=domain,dc=local I am not seeing my domain listed under cn=MicrosoftDNS, only the RootDNSservers are listed there. I could swear that is was there about a month ago. Is this something I should be worried about? Does anyone know what happened?
