I would have SWORN there was an issue in this code path, but the details escaped me.

So I pinged Steve offline who remembered the details…..basically, it’s this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;841395

 

So that could be what you’re hitting.

 

With some more details, we might be able to diagnose it if it is something else. But we might need to debug it to know for sure.

Were the entries dropped off the end of the file, or were they missing from the middle? Any pattern to the entries that were missing?

Instead of hijacking another thread I'm going to start my own ;)

What I've seen recently and was pretty surprised: A customer of mine had incomplete netlogon.dns-files, they had some of the records which were supposed to be there but not all. On some DCs about 50% of the netlogon.dns was missing.

Really bad about this is that the tools like dcdiag only test the content of the netlogon.dns against the DNS-Service, and that the netlogon-process does not check the content of the netlogon.dns without any changes unless the file is missing. So the customer had missing DNS-Informations for ages and never noticed it - not everyone is digging around in DNS and knows what's supposed to be there ;)

DCs were W2k SP4.

Anyone seen this before? OK - I've already fixed it by renaming netlogon.dns and restarting netlogon, but I'm curious if anyone has ideas where this might come from and if anyone has seen it before.

Gruesse - Sincerely,

Ulf B. Simon-Weidner
