The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows 2003 Secondary DNS got Error:  Zone Not Loaded by DNS Server

Asked by mclanasa in Domain Name Service (DNS), Windows 2003 Server, Microsoft Operating Systems

Tags: , ,

We have two DNS servers on production network not Active Directory related.
 
DNS Server 1:   IP 192.168.1.68,   Windows 2003, and all zones (in Forward and Reverse zones) are set to Primary Standard
DNS Server 2:   IP 192.168.1.100,  Windows 2003, and all zonee (in Forward and Reverse zones) are set to Secondary and pointing to DNS server 1 with IP 192.168.1.68

Somehow, I got error messages for few zones in Forward DNS Lookup Zones on DNS Server 2
 "Zone Not Loaded by DnS Server " (The rest of reverse zones are okay and got DNS information from primary DNS). I tried to reload or transfer from Master but didn't work. ).

I tried this however I had everything correct:

The DNS server encountered an error while attempting to load the zone.
The transfer of zone data from the master server failed.
This issue may occur if zone transfers are disabled. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1.      Log on to the primary name server computer as an administrator.
2.      Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS.
3.      In the console tree, click Host name (where Host name is the host name of the DNS server).
4.      In the console tree, click Forward Lookup Zones.
5.      Under Forward Lookup Zones, right-click the zone that you want (for example, example.com), and then click Properties.
6.      Click the Zone Transfers tab.
7.      Click to select the Allow zone transfers check box, and then click one of the following options:
•      To any server
•      Only to servers listed on the Name Servers tab
•      Only to the following servers.

Note If you click Only to the following servers, type the IP address of the secondary name server in the IP address box, and then click Add.
8.      Click Apply, and then click OK.
9.      Quit the DNS snap-in.



I do have a workaround, if I copy the the dns file from primary server that is located in
c$\WINDOWS\system32\dns, to the second server then the red x goes away on the seconday zone.  
I looked in event viewer and didn't see any errors.Start Free Trial
