Windows Server - Netdiag /fix equivalent in 2008R2? (Force DC to re-register all DNS entries)

Asked By Paul on 07-Sep-11 11:28 AM
Some of my DNS are run on BIND, and when I promoted a DC, it may not
have been able to register its DNS records due to this.  I think I have
alleviated the problem and done a "dcdiag /test:registerindns /
dnsdomain /v", and it tells me the server is able to register
entries.  It still has not though, and it is causing replication and app
problems.  Normally I'd do a "netdiag /fix" to force it to re-register
DNS entries, but since that was ripped out of 2008, I am at a loss.
What would be the equivalent in 2008R2, or how would I force the DC to
register itself?  Thanks.

Btw, I have tried to do a simple ipconfig /registerdns.  It did not work.

ipconfig /registerdns only attempts registration of the A and PTR records.

nltest /dsregdns should do the trick for the SRV records.

... or stopping and starting the netlogon service, this could take up to 15
minutes ISTR.

I assume the ACLs on your zone files allow updates by the particular domain
controllers?
