Hello Dave,
As told earlier, I don't want to migrate the DNS server because I won't be able to (te policy of the company is to keep the BIND DNS only).
I'm looking a way to add a new DC in an existing domain when this domain is registered in a BIND DNS and no DNS role exists in the Windows environment.
What we already did is open the firewall ports to allow the traffic between both servers.
Thank you and Thanks to everyone who can help with that.

Glad to hear of success, you're welcome.
- DomAnnicetteAug 24, 2021Brass ContributorThank you. This made me understand where the error could be.
We found out that the first DC was not properly registered to the DNS.
It's fixed now.
Thank you all for your help and patience!
