hola: una pregunta, tengo un servidor dc y tengo ad y dns instalado, este es el primario. revisando el registro de sucesos dns, reporta lo siguiente: la zona indre.local está configurada para aceptar actualizaciones pero el registro para el servidor principal del registro soa de la zona no está disponible en este servidor dns. esto puede indicar un problema de configuración. si la dirección del servidor principal para la zona no puede resolverse, los clientes dns no podrán encontrar un servidor para que acepte actualizaciones para esta zona. esto provocará que los clientes dns no puedan realizar actualizaciones de dns. luego revise en la zona directa y los registros soa y ns en la marca de tiempo aparece static, solo el registro si tiene fecha y hora en la marca de tiempo no se si esto sea normal o tenga que ver con lo que reporta el registro de sucesos dns. como puedo hacer para resolver este problema?   me pueden ayudar por favor.   lic. silvia alvarez adminis
