List all ALiases of A Records!
Hugo
Our Domain DNS server is not under my control. I have to inform my main I.T
for any DNS requirements, which obviously take a lot of time. I hope I can
get what I want by querying my DNS server.
My requirement as of now is to get a list of all DNS Aliases for my A
records.
Ex:My domain: par.edu.us.org
C:\NSLOOKUP
> ls -a par.edu.us.org
I guess I am getting ony the first CNAME of all servers. I know I have more
than 1 Alias for my A records.
How can I list out all the Aliases for a domain or a A records?
Thanks a lot

Unfortunately, if you send such a command, the DNS server thinks it's a zone
transfer request (since you are trying to get multiple records), and you
will get an error such as the following (which I got when I tried the
query):
*** Can't list domain par.edu.us.org: Non-existent domain
The DNS server refused to transfer the zone par.edu.us.org to your computer.
If thisis incorrect, check the zone transfer security settings for
par.edu.us.org on the DNS
server at IP address <theDnsServerYouQueried>
I do not believe your IT department will provide you with the ability to
receive a zone transfer. But then again, no hurt in asking them.
If you need a complete list of records, and you do not have direct access to
the DNS servers, your best bet is to ask your IT department for a complete
enumeration of all records for your zone. This way you can evaluate the
records and make decisions on changing/updating them as a whole.

How do I resolv this issue? I am looking up for help on various forums -
posting it here and hoping to get a resolution soon.
event id 7053
the dns server sendto() function failed. the event data contains the error.
Let me provide few details so that you can assist me better.
I have a Windows 2003 std AD box with DNS running for a while now. I decided
to have a backup AD win2k3 std with DNS on a VM (VMware).
I installed the OS/ DNS and later configured it as secondary DC via dcpromo.
I see the DNS zones were replicated almost instantly, but I noticed alls not
well and there were a few errors when I ran Netdiag and DCdiag (DC
Membership failed) and the Netlogon/Sysvol shares didnt show up on the
secondary DC.
However, I resolved them with the help from threads on various other forums.
As of now all looks fine - but in DNS events I see the
event id 7053
the dns server sendto() function failed. the event data contains the error.
I see that Microsoft has a fix for this error - but forums say its mostly
to supress it, I would like to know why Iam getting this error on my
secondary DC and not on my Primary DC and how to resolv it rather than
supress it.
Both my DNS servers dont do DNS forwarding as they are internal DNS
servers and I believe the root hints are correct (I see the same list of
root hint servers on the primary and secondary DC/DNS servers).
Appreciate help in resolving this issue. Pl let me know if I need to provide
further info.
Many thanks

Yes I am abl to read your response, sorry I was clumsy in replying and did
not reply properly to the groups. My mistake.
Iam still getting this error - I tried Replacing root hints with the
Cache.dns file - which did not work .
Any other ideas ?
Many thanks
