http://www.msexchange.org -------------------------------------------------------Hi Ara, We ran in to this a couple of years ago, while working on some DC problem. Microsoft recommendation was, the DC should not point to itself as primary DNS. In other words, when you have more than 1 DNS servers, always point to the other DC as the primary DNS. Although, I am not sure what difference this makes. Regards, Raj P >This note and any attachments may contain Infineum confidential information.

I did some search online and on Microsoft and opinions are different. Let's say you have 2 of 2003 sp2 domain controllers, DC1 as primary master and also a DC2. What is the proper setting on DNS on network on each server? Scenario 1: DC1: First pointing to 127.0.0.1, second pointing to DC2 DC2: First pointing to DC1, second pointing to 127.0.0.1 Scenario 2: DC1: first pointing to 127.0.0.1, second point to DC2 DC2: first point to 127.0.0.1. Second point to DC1 Thank you for help ------------------------------------------------------- List Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/exchangelist/ MSExchange Newsletter: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp MSExchange Articles and Tutorials: http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/ MSExchange Blogs: http://blogs.msexchange.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe visit http://www.msexchange.org/pages/exchangelist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------- List Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/exchangelist/ MSExchange Newsletter: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp MSExchange Articles and Tutorials: http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/ MSExchange Blogs: http://blogs.msexchange.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe visit http://www.msexchange.org/pages/exchangelist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
