I get this error from netdiag, can someone help me with this. Everything has been working for quite a while so I don't know why it just happened.

Code:
The host b62f067f-blah-blah._msdcs.mynetwork.local could not be resolved to an IP address.  Check the dns server, dhcp, server name, etc.  Although the GUID DNS name could not be reolved, the server name resolved to the ip address and was pingable.  Check that the IP address is registered correctly with the DNS server.
	myserver failed test connectivity.
 
A little more info.

I was trying to install sadms on a linux server and join it to my domain. So I reset the password on my account in AD on my Win 2003 DC (it was my account and had admin rights). Then I attempted to join the linux server to AD using my account.

I think the problem is that I don't have any forward lookup zones now. Not sure how they got erased, but can someone tell me how to get them back? Do I just create new ones? What about the one with the GUID, can I create a new one for that as well?

Thanks in advance,

J
