We are receiving the following DNS warning in our error log over the last few days.
- The zone _msdcs.ourdomain.com was previously loaded from the directory partition MicrosoftDNS but another copy of the zone has been found in directory partition DomainDnsZones.ourdomain.com. The DNS Server will ignore this new copy of the zone. Please resolve
this conflict as soon as possible.
If an administrator has moved this zone from one directory partition to another this may be a harmless transient condition. In this case, no action is necessary. The deletion of the original copy of the zone should soon replicate to this server.
If there are two copies of this zone in two different directory partitions but this is not a transient caused by a zone move operation then one of these copies should be deleted as soon as possible to resolve this conflict.
To change the replication scope of an application directory partition containing DNS zones and for more details on storing DNS zones in the application directory partitions, please see Help and Support.
To my knowledge, nothing has been recently moved, but then again I've been gone for a while. What would be the best way for me to find out where these are and which of them should be removed? I've read similar threads and have not found a clear plan of action to resolve. I have access to the server manager, just afraid to delete something necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
