Important Do not confuse a tree root domain name (there may be a few in the forest) with the forest root domain name (only one). DNSRootName is the name of the forest root domain (it can be also a tree root domain name if there is only one tree in the domain structure), e.g., net.dom.

DNSDomainName is the name of the current domain, e.g.,. Let us discuss the purpose of every record in the order that they are presented in the listing above. 600 IN SRV 0 100 464 .Īs you can see, the first two r cords are of the A (host) and CNAME (alias) types, respectively the other records are of the SRV (service location) type. You can verify resource records with the DNS snap-in. The records for a global catalog server are shown in bold. The real order will differ, but this does not matter. In this example: server name -, domain name -, root domain name - net.dom, site name.

This policy, DC Locator DNS records not registered by the DCs, is located in the Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | System | Net Logon | DC Locator DNS Records node of a Group Policy Object (GPO).
System32 missing pdc file registration#
Note It is possible to set a group policy that will prohibit registration of some or all SRV records by Windows. (If your DNS server does not support dynamic records update, you need to manually manage these records.) An example of such a file is presented below. All SRV and A resource records (20 in total, if the domain controller is a Global Catalog server 15 if it is not) that each Active Directory domain controller must register on a DNS server, are contained in the %SystemRoot%\system32\config\ netlogon.dns file.
