DNSLint is a Microsoft Windows utility used to diagnose common DNS name resolution issues and Active Directory Replication Issues.

DNSLint usage:

dnslint /d performs domain name tests. diagnoses potential causes of "lame delegation" and other related DNS problems.

dnslint /ql performs DNS query tests from a list. verifies a user-defined set of DNS records on multiple DNS servers.

dnslint /ad performs Active Directory test. verifies DNS records specifically used for Active Directory replication.
