Description
Specifies whether the domain controller registers Domain Name System (DNS) A (address) records for the domain. If the domain controller is a global catalog resource, then this entry also determines whether the domain controller registers DNS A records for the global catalog.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
0 |
Does not register DNS A records. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) implementations that do not support SRV records will not be able to locate the LDAP server on this domain controller. |
1 |
Registers DNS A records. |
This entry does not exist in the registry by default. You can add it by using the registry editor Regedit.exe.
Notes
This entry is used only when it appears in the registry of a domain controller.
You might consider setting this value to 0 if DNS fails to complete its dynamic updates because it cannot update A records. DNS stops updating when an update attempt fails.
