I am not sure what your complaint is.  It might be related to the
reply posting I sent to this newsgroup a few minutes ago.  The 5774
message states "DNS server unable to interpret format.".  This message
text is misleading.  In the cases were I have seen the message, the
"error" was that the remote DNS server did not allow the DDNS request,
and it returned a NOTIMP (4) return code.   If all you want is that
the DC "A" records get placed in DNS, then put them in manuallly.
Then ignore the 5774 message in the event log.  There are ways of
eliminating the 5774 message, but by doing so you create other problems.
