cname & domain controller

[bentley45]

Due to a lack of servers at a remote location, I need to create a File Share Witness on a DC (which is also a DNS server) at that location.

I have read that that is fine. The problem is that the software vendor that has the clustered application recommends a cname entry for the server that holds the FSW.

Will it confuse AD & DNS to have a cname entry for a DC?

Thanks

Hi bentley45,

Check out this link - perhaps not exactly what you are looking for, however they seem to reccomend that you use a CNAME record for the FSW.
