the ipconfig looks fine. posting it.

dns version 6.1.7601.17514 windows 2008 r2, not windows 2003,  5.2.3790.3959. prefix, 5 or 6, dead giveaway, 5 associated windows version 5 series, 2003/xp, , "6" 2008 r2/windows 7.

.

so question is, did "6" version come from? apparently there 2008 r2 server in mix.

if there query issues, , dns server windows 2008 r2, there hotfix take care of cname , cache issues. matter of fact, link posted has links hotfixes. @ version numbers, , link directly below them. 1 i'm thinking following (below), i'm thinking other hotfixes associated 2008 r2 dns.


dns server service not use root hints resolve external names in windows server 2008 r2 - hotfix available.
article id: 2616776 - last review: october 12, 2011, applies •windows 2008 r2 datacenter •windows 2008 r2 ent •windows 2008 r2 std
"consider following scenario:
•you install domain name system (dns) server role on computer running windows server 2008 r2.
•you configure dns server use root hints resolve external names.
in scenario, dns server not use root hints resolve external names , causes name resolution issues.
issue occurs because dns server service in windows server 2008 r2 not allow cname records , ns records coexist. when dns server service receives response has 2 kinds of records, ignores cname record.
in lieu of installing hotfix: "to work around issue, configure dns server use forwarders instead of root hints resolve external names."
