Hi
We are in the midst of a slow domain migration from Server 2003 to Server 2008. Two are now 2008, the rest are still 2003. We're 2003 native
Whilst diagnosing a fault, a dcdiag /test:dns, I found a delegation issue.
Running enterprise tests on : domain.local
Starting test: DNS
Test results for domain controllers:
DC: home-srv-dc02.domain.local
Domain: domain.local
TEST: Delegations (Del)

FLZ > _msdcs.domain.local is okay
However, FLZ > domain.local > _msdcs contains only 1 NS record for domain controller "sco-srv-dc01", which is dead (meta data clean-up was other wise done successfully)
Do I need to worry about the delegated FLZ > domain.local > _msdcs? There seems to be no issue is how the domain is working, it appears. Will it sort itself out when we're moved entirely to 2008? Or I need to fix it, how?
