SUMMARY
The &quot;Distributed Systems Guide&quot; in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit incorrectly describes the registry parameter for disabling Netlogon registrations of host records in Domain Name System (DNS).



MORE INFORMATION
The name of the registry entry for disabling Netlogon registrations of host records in DNS is incorrect in early printings of the &quot;Distributed Systems Guide&quot; (Chapter 3: &quot;Name Resolution in Active Directory&quot;). It is incorrectly stated as either DnsRegisterARecords or DnsRegisterDnsARecords.

The correct registry entry is RegisterDnsARecords:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters

Data type: REG_DWORD

Range: 0 - 1

Default value: 1

The use of this registry parameter also disables the registration of the host record for the global catalog server (gc._msdcs. ). This record is required for Active Directory and must be added manually if you implement the RegisterDnsARecords registry change.
