[ActiveDir] _msdcs records and a weird problem with DNS

[Byrne, Steve]

Hi all, just wondering if this is the cause of a weird problem I am having....   My empty root domain (domain.root) DNS records have the following under _msdcs:   _msdcs +dc +domains +gc +pdc   Now, my production domain (corp.domain.com) DNS records have the following under _msdcs:   _msdcs +dc +pdc   There are no GC or domain records for this domain.   Is this by design? The GC SRV records for corp.domain.com are listed up in the root domain's DNS servers.. I would have thought they would be in the domain that they belong to..   Thanks, SB
