Troubleshooting SRV Record Registration

Troubleshooting SRV Record Registration

1. Verify that the DC is trying to register the correct records. To do this, stop the "Netlogon" service on the DC and then delete the "Netlogon.dnb" & "Netlogon.dns" fiies located in the %systemroot%\System32\Config folder . Then start the netlogon service. Verify that the "Netlogon.dns" file contains the correct SRV records & verify that these records have been updated in DNS.

2. If the records did not update correctly , examine the system event log for errors. In particular , look for events with event IDs 5774, 5775 & 5781. Each of these event IDs indicates a problem with the SRV record registration.

Using nslookup for verifying the SRV

cmd---nslookup

set q=srv

_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.trusteddomain.com

_ldap._tcp.gc._msdcs.trusteddomain.com

_ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.trusteddomain.com

_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.trustingdomain.com

_ldap._tcp.gc._msdcs.trustingdomain.com

_ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.trustingdomain.com

Ensure that DNS pointing is correct on all DC, you may refer following to configure the same.
