RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE

Hello,

I receive the following error what I run the DNSCMD from a remote machine:

Command failed: RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE 1722 0x6BA

This only happens when I attempt to delete a record. Here is the full command I am entering:

dnscmd \\servername /recorddelete domain.com hostname A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

When I log onto the server and enter the same command, it completes successfully.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

TB

I don't think you're supposed to use the UNC servername. Use the FQDN instead.

dnscmd dnssvr1.contoso.com /clearcache

I figured it out. When inputting the servername, leave off the preceeding \\. Use:

dnscmd servername /recorddelete domain.com hostname A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

instead of:

dnscmd \\servername /recorddelete domain.com hostname A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Ya. That's what I meant. FQDN would have worked too, but not UNC (\\).

Ahh. Sorry. It would be nice if there were some consistency. DNSCMD doesn't use \\, but NETSH does.....
