DNS configuration problem - (Exch 2003 deployment tools)

Hi All,

originally I posted this one into Exchange group, but now I see it is better
placed at those newsgroups.

It should be something not so difficult to configure, but you know, when you
are missing something )

Here it is:

Does the DNS entry 030f919b-3351-4c6c-aeda-9146b8153c9a._msdcs.di.local
appear in your DNS zone? That would be the first place to look.

How many DC's are in the domain? How many domain's in the forest?

No, originally it doesn't. It is something that comes up when I run DCdiag.
I don't know what it is, I also tried to add it as a host, succeeded, could
ping it, but it didn't help with the error in DCdiag...

Try this command: dcdiag /v /fix

Then run dcdiag again.
