DNS issue - Timeout occured during validation of Secondary Zone

Hi folks,

I wonder can anyone help me with a weird issue I am having with 1 of my newly created Server 2016 Domain controllers. I’m trying to create a new secondary zone in DNS for another domain we have and I was able to successfully create it on 6 other newly created DCs but I can’t get it created on 1 of them.

When I open the New Zone Wizard and select Secondary zone, I can specify the same of the other domain, although it doesn’t give me the browse button to allow me to search for the zone on another DC. When I then go to the next step i.e. specify the Master DNS server, I type the IP address of the DC in the other domain and when I press enter it resolves the server’s FQDN ok but then says Validating but that fails and says’ A timeout occurred during validation’

I can ping the IP address of the DC in the secondary zone ok that I am trying to create the zone for and tracert and nslookup also give the expected results too, I just don’t have a clue why it can’t validate the server and allow the creation of the secondary zone. DCDIAG tests also seem to be ok but any help or advice in helping me to get this sorted would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Bonemister
