I am trying to follow the GNZ documentation and get single-label name resolution to work across forests. No luck.
1) Created conditional forwarding between forests
2) created two-way forest trust
3) enabled GNZ on all DNS servers in both forests
4) created GlobalNames zone in Forest A.
5) created cname record for resource in Forest A.
6) created SRV record in Forest B.
The instructions in the deployment guide say:
In each of the other forests, to the forest-wide __msdcs zone which should be replicated to all DNS servers in the forest, add SRV resource records pointing to each remote domain controller DNS server that hosts a local copy of the GNZ:
Name Field: “_globalnames._msdcs.FQDN_of_forest(n)”
Data Field: “[Priority][Weight][Port]FQDN_of_remote_DNS_server_hosting_GNZ”
so in Forest B, I am expecting to be able to type http://intranet and get resolution from the GlobalNames zone in Forest A. The SRV record is in the root of Forest B's msdcs folder. _globalnames.msdcs.forestb
What am I doing wrong?
Further reading has done little to help. This article (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794952(v=ws.10).aspx) confuses me when it says to right-click the domain that's replicated across the forest- what domain are they referring to? Forest A's domain or Forest B's?
