A DNS locator query identifies a specific DNS service and the port on which it runs. By default, the switch provides two DNS locator queries, but you can create custom DNS locator queries.
The switch supports a maximum of five DNS locator queries.
The current DNS service can be changed to a DNS service in a different domain by specifying the new DNS service in the DOMAIN element of the locator string.
The current DNS port can be changed to a DNS port in a different domain by specifying the new port in the PORT:x element of the locator string.
-> set /SP/clients/activedirectory/ dnslocatormode=enabled Set 'dnslocatormode' to 'enabled' ->
-> set /SP/clients/activedirectory/dnslocatorqueries/X service=service_name.domain.PORT:X ->
where:
X is a number from 1 to 5 that represents the locator query.
service is the locator service name, including a domain and port.
domain is the domain that the locator query will search.
PORT:x is the port on which the locator query communication occurs.
For example, to create a DNS locator query 1 for the service _ldap._tcp.gc._msdcs in domain companyq on port 2112, type:
-> set /SP/clients/activedirectory/dnslocatorqueries/1 service=_ldap._tcp.gc._msdcs.companyQ.PORT:2112 Set 'service' to '_ldap._tcp.gc._msdcs.companyQ.PORT:2112' ->
