[ActiveDir] DNS SOA entered incorrectly during installation

[Rich Milburn]

Title: Message

It’s possible I’ve seen this behavior because I’m doing something wrong, but I think it might be a bug?  Anyway, whenever I’ve set up DNS separately from DCPROMO, set up my forward and reverse zones, then pointed my soon-to-be DC at it and run DCPROMO, it tells me the DNS could not be found or does not accept dynamic registrations.  So when I go back onto the DNS to check what I did wrong, I find that I have to go into the SOA record and add the domain name (to make it a FQDN and not just a host name).  Voila, it works.  So the question is, if the SOA is created automatically, and it knows the domain name (because it is the SOA record for that domain’s zone, duh!), shouldn’t it write the FQDN there or assume if the domain suffix is not specified that it should tack on it’s own domain name just like it does for any of the other records?  Or am I missing something?   Thanks   Rich           -------APPLEBEE'S INTERNATIONAL, INC.
