    Hi everyone !

    When I want to add severals Mac OS X on my network, I have this problem:

    I found many people having this problem... But no one with a solution !

    2 Windows 2003 DC/DNS server. integrated AD zone.

    Any idea ?

    The article says this is expected behavior with misconfigured DNS servers.
    Querying for SRV records is slowly becoming more popular with some new
    applications. AD uses SRV records.

    You didn't provide any of your infrastructure's or OSx configuration
    information. So not knowing anything about your AD infrastructure, how
    you've configured the DNS servers, how DNS is configured between the two DCs
    in their ip properties, if there are any issues or misconfigs with AD, (such
    as a single label name domain or disjointed namespace), and especially if or
    how you have the OSx box bound to the AD domain. I did it once a few years
    ago and don't remember all the steps, but this is important. Also what DNS
    server is the OSx using in it's ip configuration.

    RE: Windows 2003 DNS server and Mac OS X (Leopard)

    Hello Hugo,

    Thank you for posting in newsgroup.

    According to the description, the issue is related to DNS SRV record
    resolution of the third party product. If I have any misunderstanding,
    please feel free to let me know.

    Before we move on, would you please clearly describe the issue so that we
    can troubleshoot with that?

    Information needed:
    ===================

    1. What is the system environment of the issue?

    2. Did you install Windows Server 2003 on a MAX OS x server as a domain
    controller and DNS?

    3. If so, can you see the SRV record in the DNS console of the Server?

    4. Can all the domain clients work normally within the domain? Can they
    logon the domain? Can they add in the domain?

    Suggestion:
    ===============

    Since it is the known issue of the MAC OS X server with Leopard system, I
    would like to suggest that you first follow the workaround that in that
    blogs, and check if the issue re-occur with your environment.

    Meanwhile, I would like to suggest that you uninstall the IPv6 on the
    problematic computer, and check if the issue is resolved.

    1. Open the properties of one of the server network cards.

    2. Select the IPV6 entries and click Uninstall

    3. Restart the server.

    Hi everyone !

    I have 2 Intel x86 Windows 2003 DC/DNS with AD integrated DNS zone
    "crulrg.local"

    IP adress distributed with MS DHCP Server. DHCP server make DNS upgrade on
    behalf of client (because all clients are not windows client).


    In the following trace.... You will see that it take 4-5 sec. to receive the
    answer !

    2 sec. for each NXDomain.

    Why does it take 2 sec. for NXDomain request ?

    Re: Windows 2003 DNS server and Mac OS X (Leopard)

    I am interested in finding out if anyone has located an answer to this
    concern.
    It seems as though when I am at work on a SBS2003 sever the dns
    lookups while browsing the internet take long... When I am at home
    they are quick and I can fully appreciate the speed of my connection.
    I don't know what to do at this point.
    I presume it is something to do with my mac and its incopatability
    with the windows server and its DNS routing, but does anyone have a
    solution or at least a workaround for this problem in the meantime.
    Thanks to all.

    Are the Macs only pointing to the AD's DNS servers or are there others in
    their network configs?

    If what you;re implying is the problem with internet traffic but not
    internally, that may infer the DNS addresses are mixed internal and external
    DNS. If it is slow or non-existent trying to resolve external name, that may
    point to the fact they are using EDNS0, which allows DNS UDP responses
    greater than 512 bytes.

    Please provide an ipconfig /all of the DC and a network config from the Mac
    workstation please?
    Also, what firewall are you using? Does it allow EDNS0?
    If you use nslookup to resolve a name you are having problems with and it
    doesn't work, change the transport nslookup is using to TCP by typing in:
    set vc
    And try again. If it works, then EDNS0 is blocked.

    The DC (SBS 2003) runs everything - DNS, FIREWALL and AD. The name of the
    domain is blah.local, and when I connect my mac to the network and it inserts
    the search domain of blah.local, that is when the problems start happening.
    If I VPN (even from inside the office) the the server and remove the search
    domain from the VPN connection leaving it blank, I get the fast connections
    and DNS resolutions again.
    If I do not do that, then if I type in Google.com, it takes about 30 seconds
    to resolve the address (during which time it says connecting in Safari).

    I really am not sure what to do.

    Thanks in advance.

    Using the term 'inserts the search domain' I assume you mean DHCP is giving
    the client Option 015, the Connection Suffix (not the Search Suffix or
    Primary DNS Suffix) and you're saying the Mac uses that as it's Search
    Suffix? I can't immediately see how that creates an issue. Only on the Macs
    and not the WIndows machines?

    Also, I assume you mean SBS is running ISA Server 2004.
    Curious concerning the DNS server's config. Both NICs pointing to itself or
    is the outside one pointing to an ISP?
    Is Proxy (web caching service) enabled too?
    Is DNS configured with a forwarder?
    I assume the firewall ports are all open for DNS including 53 TCP and 53
    UDP?
    Is it only happening with certain domain names or all domain names when you
    remove the suffix?
    Curious also, what type of connection - T1, Cable, FIOS, ADSL or SDSL?

    The search suffix is used when trying to resolve a single hostname (not an
    FQDN). It suffixes the Search Suffix to the hostname and sends the query to
    the DNS server configured in the interface's IP properties. If no hit, then
    it tries to resolve the single name using NetBIOS name resolution (which
    includes WINS). Other than that, it won't suffix an FQDN unless all attempts
    to resolve it fail, then it will suffix an FQDN. Read the following article
    for more specifics:

    DNS Name Resolution Process (Windows 2000 but applies to 2003, 2008, XP and
    Vista):
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro....mspx?mfr=true

    So I might be missing something on how it can slow the resolution process,
    other than if DNS is misconfigured or the suffix you are getting doesn't
    match blah.com, the zone in DNS, but you said it does. Just thinking out
    loud on this one.

    I have the same problem. The Mac is slow to see any first page of the web site. I found that Windows machine is fine in the same network. If the Windows DNS misconfigured, how could the PCs are fine to internet?

    It depends on what DNS server the Mac is using in it;s IP configuration. If
    it is using the DNS server that the PCs are using as the FIRST entry, then I
    don't see why there should be a problem. The DNS resolver service on a Mac
    (BSD Unix based) works similarly to Windows DNS resolver service. If there
    is another DNS address as the first entry, it;'s asking that one first and
    if it does not have the answer, it has to go through it's time out process
    before it asks the next one in the list.
