Hi I keep having this error message: The dynamic registration of the DNS record '_ldap._tcp.Default-First-Site-Name._sites.DomainDnsZones.servername. 600 IN SRV 0 100 389 servername.' failed on the following DNS server: DNS server IP address: 202.177.17.207 Returned Response Code (RCODE): 5 Returned Status Code: 9017 I checked and the DNS server belongs to our hosting site. The server configuration is not pointing to this server (or if it is hidden, where?). How do I overcome this issue? Many thanks in advance Richard

Please post the output of ipconfig /all If the server is a 2003 one then check this Microsoft hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828333 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hi Mr X Thanks for helping. I did dcdiag /fix and the the issue went away. (not sure if it went away but dcdiag did not come up with any errors) Why would the DNS server of our hosting service would be mentioned in the error? Richard

Hi Richard, The error means the DNS record could not be dynamically registered on the DNS server. Computers and users cannot locate this domain controller (DC) unless this record is registered in DNS. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Windows%20Operating%20System&ProdVer=5.2&EvtID=5774&EvtSrc=NetLogon&LCID=1033/Regards, Rick Tan
