Netlogon Service fails to register SRV records with DNS
The Windows netlogon service is responsible to register the following SRV records with DNS:
- _udp.DNSDomainName
- _tcp.DNSDomainName
- _sites.DNSDomainName
- _mcdcs.DNSDomainName
If it so happens that these records are non-existent then we can manually repair the DNS entries:
- Del.icio.us
- Restart the Netlogon service on a Domain controller or
- Run Netdiag/Fix command on a Domain controller
If the above steps do not work then proceed with the following:
- Open DNS management console
- Right click the relevant zone and Delete
- Right click Forward Lookup Zones and select New Zone
- Select the Zone type and type the name of the zone to match AD name.
- Select or create new zone file
- Right click new zone and “Allow Dynamic updates
- Restart the netlogon service
- Check for SRV records mentioned above.
