Hello everyone.
We have a 2003 AD integrated domain with 3 child domains,
DNS & DHCP.
Replication works fine between all sites, I have no errors or warnings in the eventvwr of any of our DNS/DHCP.
I've ran DCDIAG, DSNDCDIAG, netdiag and DNSList. There are no fails or warns anywhere. The only error that comes up is in DNSLINT "At least one CNAME record for an AD forest GUID was missing from a DNS server".
Here's the report:

Legend: warning, error
DNSLint developed by Tim Rains
==================================================
I've been doing some google-ing and by looking at my DNS setup I think I believe what the problem is. Let me try to explain...
In my DOMAIN when I Forward LookUp Zones - DOMAIN.COM - _msdcs I see the following
4 folders:
dc
domains
gc
pdc
along with 9 Alias (CNAME) files. I see that these are all our DNS servers on the network. (side note, there are 2 servers which are repeated, can I delete those? they dont show up in the DNSlinst report).
When I do the same thing in ANY of our 3 child domains I only see 2 folders:
dc
pdc
and do not have any CNAME entries. I am assuming this is what DNSLint is reporting as an error.
Here's a screenshot of what I am talking about:
You can also see the 2 dup servers which are highlighted in grey. These 2 are not listed on the dnslint report and was wondering if I can delete.
Can I manually create the CNAME entries on my child domains? Should I even worry since there are no replication problems?
Thanks
We have a 2003 AD integrated domain with 3 child domains,
DNS & DHCP.
Replication works fine between all sites, I have no errors or warnings in the eventvwr of any of our DNS/DHCP.
I've ran DCDIAG, DSNDCDIAG, netdiag and DNSList. There are no fails or warns anywhere. The only error that comes up is in DNSLINT "At least one CNAME record for an AD forest GUID was missing from a DNS server".

==================================================
I've been doing some google-ing and by looking at my DNS setup I think I believe what the problem is. Let me try to explain...
In my DOMAIN when I Forward LookUp Zones - DOMAIN.COM - _msdcs I see the following
4 folders:
dc
domains
gc
pdc
along with 9 Alias (CNAME) files. I see that these are all our DNS servers on the network. (side note, there are 2 servers which are repeated, can I delete those? they dont show up in the DNSlinst report).
When I do the same thing in ANY of our 3 child domains I only see 2 folders:
dc
pdc
and do not have any CNAME entries. I am assuming this is what DNSLint is reporting as an error.
Here's a screenshot of what I am talking about:
You can also see the 2 dup servers which are highlighted in grey. These 2 are not listed on the dnslint report and was wondering if I can delete.
Can I manually create the CNAME entries on my child domains? Should I even worry since there are no replication problems?
Thanks
