DNS Records

Hello All:

 

I recently completed changing my domain name from one name to another. After finishing the process, I ran the dcdiag command and obtained a dcdiag.txt file. I need someone to peruse this dcdiag file and tell me how to correct the errors that I am receiving when I run the command. FYI, the new domain name is a Microsoft domain, stoneandstone1.com and not the personal/business domain, stone-and-stone.com that I was using before. The 24.92.226.11 & 12 are my internet provider's IP addresses. I am wondering if that has something to do with the errors that I am receiving. Any help with fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated. 

One other question, after removing the old domain name from the computer, will windows automatically recognize that there is a new domain and allow me to login to that domain with my existing credentials or must I create a new login before removing the old domain name? thanks, Allen

There is no difference between a, by you called 'Microsoft domain', and any other domain like server-essentials.com. The only difference is probably the registrar and/or the party that holds name servers for the domain.

    Check the DNS settings on the Nic in your server. It should only have 127.0.0.1 as the preferred DNS server setting and nothing else. It looks like you also have 24.92.226.11 & 12 listed there. Remove those and never ever set any other DNS settings then AD integrated DNS servers

    Hi:

     

    I did what you said and everything worked out fine, see attached. I have a couple of other questions, should the address of 10.10.10.164 be put in the preferred DNS server or should 127.0.0.1 be in there and nothing in the alternate DNS server,  or is it okay the way it is? Second, when I log on to the computer, I get the screen asking for my password, the screen is saying I am connecting to stone-and-stone/username instead of stoneandstone1/username, which is what the name of the server is now. I have not removed the old domain name yet, because, I was wondering how would windows react to not seeing the old domain and wondered would it automatically update to the new domain new at login with the same credentials, could you tell me how to fix that as well, thanks, Allen

    Hi:

     

    After reviewing your comment again, I realized that 127.0.0.1 was in the preferred dns server slot and ran the test again attached is the results,  accordingly, you can forget the first question. Your assistance with the 2nd question would be appreciated, thanks, Allen

    Hi:

     

    I finished the tutorial instructions, removed the old domain name, ran the dns test, see attached. However, I am still facing that same problem. When the computer boots up and gets to the login screen, I still see stone-and-stone as the login domain. Am I stuck with that or is there a way to change it to reflect stoneandstone1, I hope that I am not pestering you about this, but, I would like to see that on the computer. Please advise as to whether or not that can be changed, thank you for your anticipated response, Allen

    That login before the login screen is cached. You might be able to remove it by creating another administrator and delete the profile of the one you still see but remember it is cosmetic and probably will go away after some time.
