_msdc DNS Error

G

After installing Server 03 and promoting it to a DC I ran Forest Prep and
Domain Prep on it to prepare it for exchange 03. I also built a second member
server, not a DC...this server will be the actual exchange server. After
running Dcdiag on the DC I got a DNS error specifying that the
_msdc."mydomain".org was missing. So after that I ran netdiag on the second
server and I received a DNS error saying that the DC could not be found and,
well please read below:
************************************************************
DC discovery test. . . . . . . . . : Failed

[WARNING] Cannot find DC in domain 'BRDDM02'. [ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN]
**********************************************************

So I went back to DNS and saw that there was no folder for the _msdc...just
for my doamin. I have been trying all weekend to create this folder manually
or by a wizard and have been unsuccessful. Without this folder I can't
install exchange nor doamin prep on my member server. My question is how can
I add this entry, (Folder), or create it??? This one has really stumped
me...thanks for the help!
