SRV records are used in these and many other scenarios:

  • When a domain controller needs to replicate changes from its partners
  • When a client computer needs to authenticate to AD DS
  • When a user changes his or her password
  • When an Microsoft Exchange server performs a directory lookup
  • When an administrator opens Active Directory Users and Computers

An SRV record follows the syntax shown below:

protocol.service.name TTL class type priority weight port target

An example of an SRV record is shown below:

_ldap._tcp.contoso.com 600 IN SRV 0 100 389 hqdc01.contoso.com

The components of the record are:

  • The protocol service name, such as the LDAP service offered by a domain controller.
  • The time-to-live value, in seconds
  • The class (all records in a Windows DNS server will be IN or INternet)
  • The type: SRV
  • The priority and weight, which help clients determine which host should be preferred.
  • The port on which the service is offered by the server. Port 389 is the standard port for LDAP on a Windows DC.
  • The target, or host of the service, which in this case is the domain controller named hqdc01.contoso.com
