windows 2008 R2 DNS _msdcs greyed out and _sites

hi experts.

having issues dns. notice in dns server _msdcs folder missing , _sites , _tcp folder missing.

our environment:

domain:2003 native

forest: 2003 native

2 dc running windows 2008 r2

i've attached screen shot

this upgraded windows 2000 2003 2008.

i seem remember dns should be:

domain

_msdcs

_sites

_tcp

_upd

i had old lab replic or our live environment took when did upgrade 2008 doman controllers , indeed see how dns configured

i have 2 windows 2012 member server lost ability browse ad objects or add domain users local groups.

i suspect has dns

all other server, services, workstations seems working fine (2008 servers, exchange, sql, etc)

can 1 please advise if the dns indeed corrupt or misconfigured , if how can resolve , check correct zones, partitions, etc in place , repair?

to throw curve ball. our domain orginated in nt days , includes "_" (my_domain) has cause alot of headaches thru years...

any appreciated.....im no expert , need deep knowlege of ad, dns , how works together..

thanks

hi mogulsurf,

>> i notice in dns server _msdcs folder missing , _sites , _tcp folder missing.

generally, add them by command "net stop netlogon & net start netlogon",then 'refresh' ,i manually deleted them in lab , use method add successfully.

if using multihomed server,read more information:
