Locating the Active Directory KDC for the client's domain
Use this procedure to obtain the host name for the Active Directory KDC that is running in the domain that includes the client machine. You need this host name later in the configuration process.
To locate the Active Directory KDC for the client's domain
From a command line, enter the following:
nslookup -type=srv _kerberos._tcp.<CLIENT_DOMAIN>
where <CLIENT_DOMAIN> is the domain containing the user's workstation where the client is running. For example:
nslookup -type=srv _kerberos._tcp.SUB1.DEV.MYCOMPANY.COM
The Active Directory KDC's host name is reported as the value of svr host name (Windows) or service (UNIX). For example:
service = 0 100 88 kdc.sub1.dev.mycompany.com
Ignore the numbers before the host name.
