    set the servers DNS server configuration address to 127.0.0.1 as it hosts
    DNS and see if this fixes the issue.

    Hi Marc,

    Are you really having a single-label domain name (like "mydomain"
    instead of "mydomain.com") as dns-domainname?
    Is the DNS-Server Service installed and running?

    Does the Forward-Lookup-Zone (same as the dns-domainname) exist?

    Is it set to allow dynamic updates?

    Is there a zone _msdcs.yourdomainname.com, or is _msdcs underneath the
    zone yourdomainname.com?

    If there's a _msdcs... Zone, is it configured to allow dynamic updates?

    If you canged anything above, restart the netlogon-service on all DCs.

    Verify that there's a CNAME-Entry underneath _msdcs with a GUID.
