Cannot Manually Add SRV Records to a Delegated Subzone (282523)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP1
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP1
This article was previously published under Q282523 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to manually add an SRV resource record in a delegated subzone by using the Windows 2000 DNS snap-in, an additional subdomain is created and the record is placed in the subzone of this subdomain rather than the delegated subzone.
For example, if the zone example.com is located on a third-party DNS server, and the following subzone is delegated to a Windows 2000 DNS server:
when you attempt to add an SRV record in this zone manually, for example, _rvp, the following record is created:
rvp._tcp._tcp.example.com SRV server1.example.com
The following record should be created instead:
_rvp._tcp.example.com SRV server1.example.com
CAUSE
When you use the Windows 2000 DNS snap-in, you are only able to create SRV resource records from a server that is the authority for the entire domain, not just the delegated subzone.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use either of the following methods:
- If the delegated subzone is a standard primary zone, stop the DNS
Server service on the server and edit the zone file to add the SRV
record. In the example that was used in the "Summary" section, the zone
file would be:
%SystemRoot%\System32\Dns\_tcp.Example.com.dns
After you add the proper record to the zone file, restart DNS Server.
- If the zone is an Active Directory-integrated zone, use the
Dnscmd.exe utility in the Windows 2000 Support Tools to add the record.
In the example that was used in the "Summary" section, the proper record
is created by using the following command:
dnscmd /recordadd _tcp.example.com _rvp srv 0 0
79 server1.example.com
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
