We have a firewall environment with resource servers talking to DC/DNS
servers through the firewall. The servers all have the error message
"Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your network." The
servers are still functioning OK, but logons are slow, and this error
message seems to be generated every time somone logs on.
Everything I can find on the web indicates that this error is caused because
the resource servers cannot find the domain controller resource record in
DNS. Yet DNS is not broken... I can surf the web and run nslookup on any of
the resource servers with no problem.
Question: Does the DNS request for a DC Resource Record use a different port
than a normal DNS request?
What else could be going on?
Thanks!
