Hi,
I have a parent domain "parent" with a child domain "child" as shown below. There are no delegations and DNS replication is set to forest wide DNS replication for both the child and parent zone. I've read that forest wide replication in this scenario is not recommended, but no one explains why.
Also, running "dcdiag /test:dns" produces the warning below (expected as child is not a DNS zone)
(test:basic (Basc))
Warning: The Active Directory zone on this DC/DNS server was not found (probably a misconfiguration)
I'm looking at upgrading the domain, then forest functional level to 2008, but want to ensure that this DNS config doesn't cause any issues.
Hoping someone can advise.
The only thing I've noticed is that some SRV records for DCs are not up to date when viewed from other DCs (dns diagnostics and event logs report OK) and all else seems OK.
Thanks
