Hi all,
Really trying hard to sort this network out! Every time a DNS registration
is attempted we receive a warning in the eventlog as mentioned in the subject.
Here is the scenario:
PC is in company.local domain, and has primary domain suffix of company.local
PC has DHCP applied, with the append these DNS suffixes option set via group
policy
company.local
oldcompanyname.local (For which we have a static zone on DNS for a few bits
of kit we are migrating over)
parentcompany.com (Which is on our physical network (Not joined domains or
anything like that) so is contactable)
Register this connection's addresses in DNS is ticked
use this local connection DNS suffix in DNS registration is not ticked
So far all good, if a user requests a client/server in our network by just
its hostname, it resolves, same with servers in the parent company which we
use.
The error we are getting is when the client attempts to register DNS, but
the error is shown below:
The Security System could not establish a secured connection with the server
DNS/server.parentcompany.com. No authentication protocol was available.
Firstly, if we append DNS suffixes, as we have done, are these used by the
DNS client to attempt to register DNS records...
For example, is my client attempting to register:
name.company.local
name.oldcompany.local
name.parentcompany.com
Not sure if this is the case (Just wanted clarification)...
I think what is happening is that the client is registering correctly in the
name.company.local zone, and then it is attempting to register in a reverse
lookup zone, (We do not have any reverse lookup zones)... And then our DNS is
forwarding this unresolved request to the parentcompany.com server, as it is
listed as the first forwarder (For all DNS domains) in our DNS setup (Not
sure why this is)...
Can someone confirm this, have I got a situation similar to this?
