[THIN] Re: event 5719 (No domain controller present)!

There are underscore folders in our site DNS:
_msdcs
_sites
_tcp
_udp

Content seems to just point to the real servers, however...

I also have "forestdnszones" and "domaindnszones", and here is a
quirk: they also list the  OLD "seized" DC that exists no more.

forestdnszones - _sites - <our site> - _ldap (lists a defunct DC as
well as the current one)
domaindnszones - _sites - <our site> - _ldap (lists a defunct DC as
well as the current one)

May this be our issue?
