I just ran dcdiag /test:DNS /DNSALL /e /v on my DNS server and received an error in the output. I am not having any problems with my network though. Could someone give me some advice how to fix this?


Domain Controller Diagnosis

Performing initial setup:
* Verifying that the local machine PE2900B, is a DC.
* Connecting to directory service on server PE2900B.
* Collecting site info.
* Identifying all servers.
* Identifying all NC cross-refs.
* Found 2 DC(s). Testing 2 of them.
Done gathering initial info.

Doing initial required tests

Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\PE4600
Starting test: Connectivity
* Active Directory LDAP Services Check
* Active Directory RPC Services Check
......................... PE4600 passed test Connectivity

Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\PE2900B
Starting test: Connectivity
* Active Directory LDAP Services Check
* Active Directory RPC Services Check
......................... PE2900B passed test Connectivity

If you are referring to the errors with regards to root hints, it's possible that there not considered valid because you can't resolve them directly from your AD DNS server. I am not sure if your domain controller is allowed to go out on the internet, but as far as I recall you don't typically need internet domain root hints for an Internal DNS server supporting your AD infrastructure (other can chime in on this).
I don't see any other problem (unless I missed something)as your AD/DNS name resolution looks fine.
