Please Help with Remote DNS Update
Hi guys. I am trying to add/update/edit A records on our NS server via a command from a remote Server/PC. DNS Server is Windows Server 2003 running external DNS, not internal, no AD. Despite much searching on Tech Net, I am not getting anywhere.
I can do the following locally:
dnscmd /RecordAdd fakedomain.co.za test A 10.20.30.40
This creates an A record under fakedomain.co.za with the IP of 10.20.30.40. - So if you were to ping test.fakedomain.co.za it returns with 10.20.30.40. (But its fake, so dont try!!!)
However, when I try the following from my XP Pro Laptop with Support Tools installed:
dnscmd ns1.fakedomain.co.za /RecordAdd fakedomain.co.za test A 10.20.30.40
The following Error is returned:
Command failed: RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE 1722 (000006ba)
I am very much out my depth here I think...
Has anyone got any advice for me?
