SYMPTOMS
Active Directory Microsoft Management Console (MMC) utilities may be slow to initialize and run. They may also stop responding (hang) during the initialization procedure.



CAUSE
DNS is not properly configured for the domain controller. It may be pointing to a DNS server that does not contain the SRV records for the domain.

DNS can also have entries for domain controllers that are offline or unavailable.



RESOLUTION
Verify that the SRV records exist in DNS. For additional information about SRV records, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

241515 Verifying the Creation of SRV Records for a Domain Controller

If the records do not exist or are incorrect, correct the settings on the domain controller and in DNS so that the SRV records can be created. For additional information about configuring DNS, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
