Clients not contacting AD to join domain due to SRV record error

I have a new Server 2012 Essentials, which is a standalone Domain Controller. I am trying to join a client to the domain with an error regarding missing SRV record. I have joined one client to the domain already.

Where do I start, and how can I fix this in DNS? Can I just delete the zones and start over? Or is there a process to fix missing SRV records?

Probably a helpful Event:

Event ID 4013 The DNS server is waiting for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to signal that the initial synchronization of the directory has been completed….

Answer

You’re going to want to provide more details about what’s what’s going wrong if you want a proper answer, but you can manually add an SRV record through the DNS manager. Probably not an optimal solution, because this is most likely a symptom of another problem, but that’s how you add SRV records.

You should probably troubleshoot DNS on the client that’s having the problem first, as the more likely source of the problem is the client not being able to reach the correct DNS server, than your DNS server(s) actually missing LDAP SRV records.
