ClearOS as domain controller

  • 772

I'm attempting to use ClearOS as my Domain Controller for a Windows network with no success.

When attempting to join the domain I get this fun error:

An error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain su.dc.

The error was: "No records found for given DNS query." (error code 0x0000251D DNS_INFO_NO_RECORDS)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.su.dc

But when I do an nslookup on _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.su.dc I get the address of the ClearOS box.

I'm using WinXP Pro to test with.

The domain is su.dc.

ClearOS is running: DNS and DHCP

Any ideas?

    Doing an nslookup will by default look for A records. The error says that it is looking for an SRV record. You'll need to ensure that all the SRV records are there.

    If you need domain controllers why not use Windows servers which were made to be domain controllers.
