To use the DNS domain controller, ensure that you have done the following tasks on the Network Settings page: ● Selected the Register with DNS check box. ● Provided the Primary and Alternate DNS server addresses. After you enter the domain name, OME-Modular searches the SRV records on the DNS servers to fetch the details of the domain controllers in that domain.
