Secondary AD doesnt have DNS, cannot restore Primary AD
Hi guys, My first post here, completely exhausted Googling this issue without much luck, but a very simple setup. I had 2 ADs (primary and secondary) - Primary (DC1)- AD + DNS - Secondary...
Thanks for the response, I could not do step 1 as currently I do not have any zones:
However, I followed the other steps (deleting the dns objects from AD) and when trying to create the domain again, I am confronted with this message again:
This is all on my currently working AD (DC2)
Probably was a fatal mistake installing a domain controller without integrated DNS role. I'd probably try turning this one off and restore the other DC from a recent backup.
- Agreed, but I do not have a recent backup, this is all I can work with :(
