Vcenter Appliance 5.1 - AD issue with external DNS -

Hello,

We try to put in place an AD authentication on our Vcenter Appliance 5.1.

AD works fine for other machines (Win2008, Win2012). But AD is not the DNS zone, so we had to create the SRV entries in our DNS.

On the vCenter, we have the following error:

The network tab is correctly entered (FQDN of the vcsa), and the vcsa has an A entry and a reverse (PTR).

DNS resolution from VCSA is good :

# dig lab.as30781.net

(...)

lab.as30781.net.        86400   IN      SOA     ns01.lab.as30781.net. hostmaster.lab.as30781.net. 2014061100 28800 7200 604800 86400

# nslookup ad01.lab.as30781.net

Name:   ad01.lab.as30781.net

Address: 198.18.2.1

# nslookup ns01.lab.as30781.net

Name:   ns01.lab.as30781.net

Address: 193.151.84.99

We believe we missed some SRV entries, but we can not find any documentation that gives more necessary entries than we have already created.

Thanks for your help,
