How Windows DNS actually works.

I was expecting this to be wrong but it is actually correct. Even in that subreddit, that does not happen often. I’ve gotten into arguments with clients and with people who should know better about Windows DNS behavior. And many times I’ve walked into clients with an external DNS configured on their domain-joined endpoints “for redundancy.”

Of course, their crap half-works and they don’t understand why. Then they get angry because you take their fake redundancy away while making their domain and network 100x more reliable. People are fucking weird. It seems most people want to shoot themselves in the foot and become resentful when you tell them that blasting away at their own appendages is a bad idea.
