Hi all,
one forest which includes one empty root domain and one child domain (servers and users are located here)
there are multiple sites (site1-site8) and only corp site has root domain controllers. So, at corp site, child domain controllers are forwarded to root domain controllers in the DNS. at other sites, child domain controllers' DNS forarders are configured to use each site's internet provider's DNS servers.
Now, I need to promote one member server to child domain controller at site 8 and I use the site7's DNS server to promote and it seems hung. I do not know the reason why and could it be due to the DNS forwarder that is forwarded to external DNS server at site 7 since there is no root domain controller? Does promoting child domain controllers need DNS forwarder to root domain controller?
Thank you.
