Question : DCDiag /test:DNS failure

I removed Active Directory, i.e. demoted the server from a DC to just another server.

I added 1 of my ISP's DNS Server to the local IP configuration so I would have Internet connectivity when I rebooted.

Rebooted.

I Ran the AD Wizard establishing a new AD.
I Ran the DNS and DHCP configuration wizards, which in doing so I found the defaults to already be correct. e.g. In DNS there were already forward zone records for the server, there was an _msdcs,net.sb.local forward zone and a _msdcs subforlder under the net.sb.local forward zone.

In DHCP, it already had the proper scope and reservations for 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.10. I did have to add the forwarders to DNS. The local IP dropped the DNS server of the ISP without my intervention and kept the server's IP address as the DNS server.

The router is 192.168.1.1 and the DC server (OLYMPUS) is 192.168.1.10.

I added my user id back to AD and it asked for my password, etc.

The clients pull (or are given) correct information:
