I have added the first new 2012r2 DC to an existing domain, that is running on 2003 servers. After getting it all setup, ADDS replicating, DNS replicating, DHCP setup etc. Everything I think seems to be working but I've noticed an issue, I think? in DNS..

In the Forward Lookup Zones if I go into the properties of a zone, and go to the Name Servers tab. The entry for the new DC/DNS 'ZEUS' has an IP Address listed as 'Unknown'. Have I done something wrong, not set something up correctly? Is it normal that I have to manually enter this IP Address? I don't recall having to manually enter the Name Server IPs for other domains I've configured in the FLZ.

Image attached of the properties window. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, I feel as though something isn't right here and this is the first time I've added a new DC to an existing domain. This server is supposed to be taking over as the two others listed are 2003 and slated for decommissioning.

enter image description here

It is a fresh install of 2012r2, fully updated, ADDS Role installed, promoted to DC, and I let replication take care of populating DNS on the new server. I haven't done much of any customized configuration, I thought allowing replication would take care of things.

  • You should manually resolve it. Click edit, then click resolve. It will be OK. –  Jun 23 '15 at 20:42
  • Thank you, I wasn't sure if I'd done something wrong in setting up the new DC. I did just manually resolve the IP address for the new DC on all the FLZs. – Griff.J Jul 07 '15 at 15:54
