Persistent event 5774

hi,

we have pair of server 2008 dcs, both gc , use ad integrated dns.

after migrating servers iaas provider, found quirk meant tool renamed 1 of dcs. don't think changed server's guid. changing name has resolved many of issues, persistently event 5774.

after removing , replacing the incorrect entry under _msdcs.[domain] dns folder, able restart netlogon , dns server , dcdiag came clean. used fqdn when recreating cname under _msdcs.[domain]. tested both dcs can resolve record.
cname created "allow authenticated user update dns records same name..."

we noted had event 414, due non qaulified name server entry under our domain forward zone. if removed incorrect nameserver, created again when dns server service restarted. decided leave monday.

its monday , event 5774 symptoms have re-appeared. unable resolve _msdcs entry entered on friday recreating again temporarily resolves 5774 leaving same 414 event , symptom described above.

any ideas how permanantly resolve issue?

hello,

renaming dc nothing happens automatically, please upload following files can check domain/dcs problems.

ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt [from each dc/dns server]
dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:dcname >c:\dcdiag.txt
repadmin /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite >c:\repl.txt  ["dc* place holder starting name of dcs if begin same (if more 1 dc exists)]
dnslint /ad /s "dcipaddress" (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321045)
adreplstatus http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30005 can exported file.

as output become large, don't post them thread, please use windows sky drive (skydrive.live.com) [with open access!] , add link here. /e in dcdiag scans complete forest, better run on cob.

assure servers , domain members use domain dns servers , none else.
