I am trying to use a CNAME alias to facilitate the replacement of servers. The servers also happen to be domain controllers, running Windows 2012.
I have tried the following to no avail from another post. I have rebooted a couple times as well.
1) Add A record or CNAME to DNS
2) Add the following to the registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;Print Spooler Driver Exception
[ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print]
"ThrowDriverException"=dword:00000001
;Disabled Strict Name Checking for Win2k8R2
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
"DisableStrictNameChecking"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Lsa]
"DisableLoopbackCheck"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print]
"DnsOnWire"=dword:00000001
-------------------------------
3) open admin console and enter:
NETDOM COMPUTERNAME [fqdn of server you are on] /add:[fqdn of dns entry (from step 1) to accept]
"NETDOM COMPUTERNAME" should be typed exactly like it is.
