The thing is that I do not recall doing anything like this. Of course I register the computer to mydomain.tld.
The only thing that is trying to make an access to mydomain.tld is the login script set with the domain policy.

So if I get it well you recommend me to add a servicePrincipalName in users.ldb with the value:

HOST/mydoamin.tld

Am I right ?
