"DNS Operation Refused" Netlogon Error

Event viewer shows the following error message(s):

Registration of the DNS record '_kerberos._tcp.dc._msdcs.xxxxxx.com. 600 IN SRV 0 100 88 ajtadc1.ajta.com.' failed with the following error:
DNS operation refused.

This began happening after we moved and switched ISPs. The resulting problem is that client computers take forever to log on to the network. What gives?

I have tried to no avail. What I've done is a. set up the router to use the new ISP's DNS address and b. set up the DC to us it as well.

You may need to check the forward/reverse lookup zones. I forget exactly which one you need to change, but have a look in there to make sure that you're not using old DNS information.

[Edit] Of course, the zones configuration will be done on the server, and you'll also need to verify that the clients do not have static DNS information; i.e. the DHCP server running on the server is assigning the DNS server information to the clients.

What do the clients use for DNS? Your DC or the ISP DNS? They should be using the DC only...the ISP isn't going to let you update DNS records.

The only place the ISP DNS servers should appear is in the "Forwarders" section of the DNS server.
 
I believe I've tried both ways, clients using DC and the ISP's DNS server, but I'll give it another try...
