Subject: [ActiveDir] Netlogon.dns (2)
Instead of hijacking another thread I'm going to start my own ;)
What I've seen recently and was pretty surprised: A customer of mine had incomplete netlogon.dns-files, they had some of the records which were supposed to be there but not all. On some DCs about 50% of the netlogon.dns was missing.
Really bad about this is that the tools like dcdiag only test the content of the netlogon.dns against the DNS-Service, and that the netlogon-process does not check the content of the netlogon.dns without any changes unless the file is missing. So the customer had missing DNS-Informations for ages and never noticed it - not everyone is digging around in DNS and knows what's supposed to be there ;)
DCs were W2k SP4.
Anyone seen this before? OK - I've already fixed it by renaming netlogon.dns and restarting netlogon, but I'm curious if anyone has ideas where this might come from and if anyone has seen it before.
Gruesse - Sincerely,
Ulf B. Simon-Weidner
