Hi everyone,

I installed an evaluation copy of Windows Server 2019. I have installed AD DS and DNS role from scratch following this guide in order to get a domain controller integrated with DNS.

https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Windows-Server-2019-Step-4c0a3678/file/204046/1/Windows%20Server%202019-Step%20by%20Step%20Installation%20of%20Domain%20Controller.pdfhttps://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Windows-Server-2019-Step-4c0a3678/file/204046/1/Windows%20Server%202019-Step%20by%20Step%20Installation%20of%20Domain%20Controller.pdf

I noticed that netlogon cannot register the needful dynamic dns records. EventViewer shows multiple Event ID 5774

I ran the command nltest.exe /dsregdns
nltest.exe /dsregdns

Flags: 0
Connection Status = 0 0x0 NERR_Success
The command completed successfully

DNS server service goes down repeatedly.50581-dcdiag.png

Can you please help me on this?

Thanks in advance
Regards

    Hi,

    It seems the DC doesn't have a A DNS record , you can create it manually or set network card to be created automatically.
    Check the DNS suffix on network is correct, and if the option to register this connection's address in DNS is enabled

    Run the following option : 

    ipconfig /registerdns

    and there are no other errors? Is this server using AD integrated DNS? This one is likely the result of some other problems.

    I did not bother to look at that site. Standing up a domain controller is a very simple process so you might want to try again from a clean, fully patched, install. After installing the latest cumulative update add these two roles, then add the server's own static ip address listed for DNS, reboot and you're done.

    Yes, something is broken. The DNS service crashing is a big problem. I'd check the event logs for more details.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your question.

    Please try the following steps to see if it could fix this issue.

    1. On the machine logging the above event, in their TCP/IP configuration, make sure they’re not configured for the same DNS server for both Primary and Secondary.
    2. The following registry value is incorrect: “SiteCoverage” under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters This value typically should equal the domain name.
    3. Change the zone type from Active Directory integrated to "Standard Primary", then stop & start DNS. Then stop & start the netlogon service on the DC to verify that the records are registered. If so, then change the zone type back to Active Directory integrated and verify that the DC no longer records the Eveny log errors when the netlogon service is stopped & started.
    4. Make sure the machine logging the above event is pointing to a DNS server that support Dynamic updates and is hosting a zone for the domain (i.e. make sure it’s not pointing to the ISPs DNS server).

    Please refer to the following link for more information,
