PS C:\> dcdiag /test:registerindns /dnsdomain:FQDN /v
This domain controller cannot register domain controller Locator DNS records. This is because it cannot locate a
DNS server authoritative for the zone FQDN. This is due to one of the following:
1. One or more DNS servers involved in the name resolution of the FQDN name are not responding or contain
incorrect delegation of the DNS zones; or
2. The DNS server that this computer is configured with contains incorrect root hints.
The list of such DNS servers might include the DNS servers with which this computer is configured for name
resolution and the DNS servers responsible for the following zones: FQDN
Verify the correctness of the specified domain name and contact your network/DNS administrator to fix the
problem.
You can also manually add the records specified in the %systemroot%\system32\config\netlogon.dns file.

* Connecting to directory service on server PDC.
* Collecting site info.
* Identifying all servers.
* Identifying all NC cross-refs.
* Found 2 DC(s). Testing 1 of them.
Done gathering initial info.
