Fix incorrect SOA records on 2008 R2 Server Core


hello, here scenario , issue having:

  • active directory domain 4 dc's. dc's host internal dns , working fine.
  • 2 member servers (2008 r2 server core) set dns servers our publicly hosted clients/sites.  there no internal records on these servers.  both servers have public ip's.
  • our internal domain domain.local, , external domain.com.
  • all soa records zones on public servers reference domain.local instead of correct domain.com.  ns server list shows .local names.
any idea how fix this?  i assume perhaps need change fqdn of these 2 servers.  if so, how done on server core?  also, lose connectivity domain?  this must not happen.


thanks, ruben clark

it's recommended keep dns server hosting public records standalone. can describe why needs access ad?

to allow automatically register proper soa, server's primary dns suffix needs match zone want soa for.

you can create record in domain.com zone each dns server, set fqdn nameserver name in zone properties, manually change in dns properties, general tab. click browse set record created. assuming 1 holding secondary zone, same on other machine.

late addition - forgot mention, agree tiger if dns server multihomed, can cause problems. it will register 2 records itself, too. changing info mentioned above, need use either rsat or dnscmd tool tiger mentioned.
