Heyy guys, wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the O/S category, so sorry if it needs moving.

So, ive managed to get my mits on a copy of Windows Server 2003, whilst not really ideal for my uses, it was free, so im not complaining!

Trying to setup a domain (through active directory) and i get this error.

[QUOTE]Diagnostic Failed
The registration diagnostic has been run 1 time.

Warning: Domain Controller functions like joining a domain, logging onto a domain, and Active Directory replication will not be available until the DNS infrastructure for Active Directory is correctly configured.

The DNS zone authoritative for the domain wilkinson.local cannot be updated because it is the DNS root zone. Domain controllers will not send dynamic updates to the DNS root zone. If you want to use this domain name, select 'Install and configure the DNS server on this computer' below and create a delegation for the new DNS zone wilkinson.local from the root zone to this DNS server.

For more information, including steps to correct this problem, see Help.

Details
The primary DNS server tested was: A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET (198.41.0.4)

The zone was: . (root)

Domain controllers will not send dynamic updates to the DNS root zone.[QUOTE]

Im not entirely sure what is this translates as, or how to resolve it, so any advice would be welcome!

As a point, the server im setting up is on wireless, but with a static IP, its DNS settings are set to openDNS..... Ive tried removing these, and allowing the router to set the IPs, but still have the same issue.
