hi,

we changed name of our wsus server , name did not replicate across domains.?
understood comments wsus server's new name registered in dns server in prod.net domain not in prod-web.net .

next

the name change on prod.net on 2008 correct , prod.net on 2003 incorrect. there 1 way trust between domains.
resolve issue, check required ports open on firewall

see ports requirement ad.

in addition,

active directory replication on firewalls

you may use portqryv2.exe, command-line utility can use troubleshoot tcp/ip connectivity issues.

also ensure below configuration dc , clients:

-->>multihoming domain controllers not recommended, results in multiple problems.
------------------------------------
1. domain controllers should not multi-homed
2. being vpn server , running rras makes multi-homed.
3. dns itself, better on single homed machine.
4. domain controllers pdc role automatically domain master browser. master browsers should not multi-homed

272294 - active directory communication fails on multihomed domain controllers http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;272294

191611 - symptoms of multihomed browsers

-->> ip configuration on domain controller:
------------------------------------------
1. each dc / dns server points private ip address primary dns server , other internal/remote dns servers secondary ones
2. each dc has 1 ip address , 1 network adapter enabled (disable unused nics).
3. if multiple nics (enabled , disabled) present on server, make sure active nic should on top in nic binding.
4. contact isp , valid dns ips them , add in forwarders, not set public dns server in tcp/ip setting of dc.

-->> ip configuration on clients , member servers:
-----------------------------------
1. each workstation/member server should point local dns server primary dns , other remote dns servers secondary.
2. not set public dns server in tcp/ip setting of ws.

once done above, run "ipconfig /flushdns & ipconfig /registerdns", restart dns , netlogon service on each dc , client.
