Re: Global Catalog SRV Record is Missing

Dear all;

In our network, there are one DC and one DNS server. Although AD Sit
and Services -> NTDS Settings -> Global Catalog check box is checke
position, there is no SRV record for our GC in forward lookup zone i
DNS. Now i am trying to force my GC for getting SRV record but there i
no solution that i found. Please help me for any article to force my G
server to register its SRV record automatically.

Note: Dynamic Update for zone is selected.

Best wishes

Do the world a favour an think this through...

Suggest this:

Go to your company Lab (you*do* have a replica *LAB* *DONT* *YOU*?)
Recreate the scenario and work out a routine that fixes it.

My first suggestion for your lab is promote another machine to GC and
remove the GC Role from the machine affected.

Wait 4 hours (or whatever your replication window is) and reinstate
the GC Role on the affected machine whilst concurrently monitoring
your DNS Servers (you /*do*/ have *multiple* *dns* servers dont
you??!)

Hint:
You're looking for events in the event log that say successful GC
removal and instate...

Document the working procedure and then apply it!
