Hello Andrew,

changing/adding the objectClass values did work. The only remaining
difference is the objectCategory. In my setup I have:

objectCategory: CN=Top,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=novanetwork,DC=loc

but I think it should be:

objectCategory:
CN=Domain-DNS,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=novanetwork,DC=loc

is this something that needs to be fixed ?

best regards

Andreas
