I have a Windows 2003 Server. For some reason I have lost all my DNS
Entries. I have no DNS whatsoever in the DNS Service. I also have no
backup. How can I restore/recreate this DNS?

Thank you

Did you install DNS on another DC and manually create the zone name and
didn't wait for it to auto-populate? If so, I can understand why the zone
disappeared. IF this is the case, you may be able to fix it using ADSIEdit.
Post back and let us know.

Thanks for your reply. I have to admit that I am fairly new with DNS. What
is ADSIEdit?

It's not a DNS tool, but rather an AD tool. If the zone is AD integrated and
you are having problems, it may , otehrwise it won't. It depends on YOUR
response to my previous question. Respond back and we can work from there.
