Hello,
I am setting up a Windows 2000 Active Directory subdomain with WIN2k DNS running on the primary domain controller. Lets call the machine/domain: daMachine.hello.hithere.com for purposes of example. The hithere.com domain is running BIND DNS v9.2.1 on a Linux box and is set to pass DNS info to any requesting server. My WIN2k server has SP3, is set to A.D. integrated for DNS, allows incremental zone transfers, and does seem to accept transfers just fine when I manually hit 'transfer from master'.
Now for the question... my DNS log on my WIN2k server is chock full of this error:
"Event ID 7500: The DNS server failed to process a packet from 123.45.67.890. The packet was discarded."
(123.x.x.x being the IP of the BIND DNS server). I am not allowed to install a packet sniffer on this box to find out exactly what is being passed to me nor am I allowed access to the BIND server (or any box in the hithere.com domain for that matter). This is my first totally from scratch setup of a full blown W2k domain. The only article I have found by Microsoft on the subject "Q302639 Zone transfers from BIND version 9.x DNS servers do not work" says the problem is fixed by installation of service pack 3 (sp3) which has already been done twice. Also, I believe this article mentions a different event being logged. Anybody ever encounter anything like this?
