Dnsmasq Active Directory Srv Records

Dnsmasq.conf sample. SRV records originating for # dnsmasq. These are useful if you want to serve ldap requests for # Active Directory and other windows. Mar 10, 2015 - The DNS SRV records required to locate a AD DC for the domain are not registered. I would suggest not using DNSMasq. Active Directory is.

I've inherited 'ownership' of a network which has a Windows 2003 Server running as a Domain Controller and file server (no IIS or DNS running). We also use an Ubuntu server running dnsmasq as an internal Name Server. This setup doesn't seem to have been a problem until now - we are installing a new Windows 2008 server (new hardware and everything), and want to migrate services and data from the old server gradually. To start this process, we are trying to add the new server as a secondary controller on our domain. The server is connecting to the domain easily enough, but when we try and specify the forest for the new controller we end up with this error: The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for domain 'DOMAIN.address.com': The error was: 'DNS name does not exist.' (error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR) The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.DOMAIN.address.com Common causes of this error include the following: • The DNS SRV records required to locate a AD DC for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server automatically when a AD DC is added to a domain.

They are updated by the AD DC at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses: Ccd Camera Drivers. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone: • DOMAIN.address.com • address.com • com •. (the root zone) I'm now thinking that the solution is to make the 2008 Server use the 2003 Server DNS instead of our Ubuntu?

Is this the right solution? Are there other options? What might I and my team have missed? I wouldn't put too much effort into having it 'play nicely', I'd rather go for AD-integrated DNS instead of dnsmasq. • Install on the Windows 2003 DC • Create a primary forward-lookup zone called DOMAIN.address.com • Transfer the records from your Ubuntu server to the new DNS Server on the DC • • Restart the netlogon service on the 2003 DC (this way, all SRV records in the _msdcs subzone will re-register) • Ensure that the SRV records are in place (eg.

Ping _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.DOMAIN.addresse.com ) • Use the 2003 DC as DNS server in the future • Use the Ubuntu Server for something else.;-) Now, the new 2008 DC will be able to locate the DC during dcpromo, and everything should work as expected:-). You would indeed need want an AD-integrated MS DNS server - doing it differently would require. But you could choose to keep your existing name server infrastructure in place and just add MS DNS servers on top of that.
