Client DNS issue after Domain controller migration

i had migrated from 2008 R2 Domain controller to 2016, all FSMO roles transferred to 2016 server. after migration existing clients machines not resolving new server DNS, it gives below error.

C:\Users\administrator.CLOUD>nslookup
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.201.11

new servers are able to resolve 2016 server DNS without any issue.

i did not demoted 2008 R2 domain due to DNS issue. i tried registering DNS manually but no luck

Hi,

it seems a network issue. check if the DNS network flow port 53 used by the client to send DNS request is opened between client and new DNS server. you can use this tools https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24009
It can be also a DC problem because the DNS zone is active directory integrated so , it can be impacted if there is a replication issue.

Hi,

Default Server: UnKnown this message means that there is no PTR entry (it's DNS entry to identify the server name by its IP addresse) for new DNS server. but the PTR dns entry is not required to let client send DNS requests to the server 192.168.201.11 .

check if the client is able to resolve FQDN of any machine to test if it get answer from DNS server 192.168.201:

nslookup domainName:

Hi,

The PTR you shared it in your last answer is for : 192.168.201.3


45329-image.png




Create new PTR for 192.168.201.11.

Try to resolve a FQDN with local DNS suffix : nslookup dc.cloud.local to check if you get the same timeout

There is a time difference between the two domain controllers, this needs to be corrected. May need to look at the domain time service configuration. Looks like there are replication problems between the two. I'd check the event logs for more details of issues. Also check that problem clients are getting the ip address of new DC listed for DNS on connection properties.

@SabirShibley-3818 Hi,

Thank you for posting in Q&A!

Please try to point the DNS server list to each other, rather than point to itself first.

If multiple DCs are configured as DNS servers, they should be configured to use each other for resolution first and themselves second. If the DC point to itself as the primary DNS server, it might cause some unexpected AD replication issue.

For more details, please refer to:

Hope you have a nice day : )
Gloria
