I have a windows 2000 parent domain test.net and a child domain australia.test.net. Something went wrong during the process of joining the child domain to the parent. We do not know what and we have no logs for that period. We do know that the SOA record in the delegation in the DNS of the parent domain was pointing at the wrong ip address for the local DNS in australia. The DC in australia is pointing to itself for DNS.
Five SRV records seemed to be missing in the parent domain relating to the child domain when comparing the australia child to another child domain in india.
The records for the india child domain references five SRV records in the DNS for the parent domain which are missing for the australia domain. The DNS entries for all of these records refer to the local DC/GC.
_msdcs._domains.{ GUID }._tcp._ldap
_msdcs._gc._sites.australia._tcp._ldap
_msdcs._gc._tcp._ldap
_tcp._gc
_sites._australia._tcp_gc
the last four records all refer to port 3268.
Are these records required ?
Is there any way of automatically re creating them ?
I could manually create all of then except the last two. I can find no way of creating a _gc record
