Active Directory DNS problems...

[Groancold]

I seem to have managed to completely crash my AD DNS. I only have two DC's on the network both running win 2003 server but they don't seem to want to replicate anymore.
Part of the problem is I'm running a single label dns but it was working earlier. I've configured all the Reg settings to work with single label.

Is there any way to reset the dns in Active directory? I've deleted and reinstalled the zones in DNS so many times, but it's not getting fixed. I beleive the actual zone info in AD has been deleted... is there any way to get it back?

Thanks for your help

I'm getting the following netdiag dns errors:

Have you tried to force replication? What do you have as far as error messages we can track down?
