Having joined a new Secondary DC to my domain and manually created the DNS A record and the CNAME record as described here https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Check_and_fix_DNS_entries_on_DC_joins, I find that my PDC also has an A record in "_msdcs.my.domain.com", which the new Secondary DC has not. Is this a problem? Should I create this record as well? Ole

So I rebooted and all the missing records appeared. Rowland

So every DC should definitely have an A record in two places: a) the domain zone b) the _msdcs zone Correct?
