Hello,
I inherited a windows 2000 and windows 2003 mixed domain with two domain controllers with a lot of problems. So I configured a new PDC using windows 2003 R2 and decommissioned the old PDC successfully. Everything is working now smoothly as it should be. My netdiag and dcdiag return all tests passed. But when I run a DNS test using "DCDiag/Test
NS /e" I get a failure error. Now in my domain my SDC (Secondary domain controller) is DNS1 and PDC (primary domain controller) is DNS2. Here is the result of the test.

Does this mean I need to worry about some potential future problems? Everything right now is working fine. Both the DNS are resolving fine. All the domain workstations are working fine on the network. Please suggest.
