Open Stack

Hi Razique:

The issues I'm thinking about are around setting up a Windows domain inside
of running instances. I don't think that's covered by sysprep stuff.

In my case, I've deployed a domain controller inside of my cloud, but when
I join other instances to it, the DNS server inside the domain controller
doesn't get updated with the name of the new machine.

My understanding is that DNS entries only get added in the domain
controller if the other instances use the domain controller as the DHCP
server, since the dynamic DNS update is part of that process. But in
OpenStack, the DHCP server is dnsmasq.

Has anybody run into this issue? What do you use for DNS in this case? Do
you use dnsmasq, and point your domain controller to the network controller
node? Do you somehow configure dnsmasq to forward the dynamic DNS updates
to the domain controller?
