Hi,
We have an internl AD DNS namespace which has no connection to the intenet for root hints. It is configured to forward to external unix servers that have access to the internet, thus root hints have been disabled.
Has anyone come across a situation where you remove all root hints from cache.dns, remove root hints in system in ADUC and Root Hints on DNS tab on all servers, then run baseline analyser test and it continues to state you have root hints errors as they cannot be contacted. If you restart the DNS service then run the test it passes but then 15 minutes later fails again. Have followed KB818020 to remove the hints as above in all 3 places.
If I run DCdiag /Test:dns no mention of root hints errors.
It is very frustrating I would like to know if this is an issue with the analyser tool or are root hints still somewhere that I am missing....
Thanks
Tanya
