I have a problem with a customer who has only one domain controller.
They have AD installed on A DC which points to a Unix box as its DNS server. This unix box does not support SRV records and is authorative for the AD domain which is a subdomain of the customers main domain name.
Now I always thought that the DNS server which is authoritive for the AD domain needs to support SRV but this network seems to run entirely using WINS. Suprisingly it works very well.
The problem is that they now need a 2nd Domain controller and I'm thinking that this 2nd domain controller won't be able to join the domain because there are no SRV records.
Is this correct?
Has anybody come across this situation before?
