Hello Rowland,

Indeed,  the  Windows  DC tried to update the record.. The other day, I've found
that  the  record is just missing (expired?). So, I've started to dig in and was
able to resolve the issue in this way:
1. I could reproduce the issue by restarting NETLOGON service on the Windows DC.
Also the following commands failed with "Connection Status = 1311 0x51f
ERROR_NO_LOGON_SERVERS":
nltest.exe /dsregdn
nltest /query
2. After some googling, I've found the fixing command:
nltest /sc_reset:domain.com

After   that,  all  vm-dc1  records  were  registered  in  the  AD  w/o  issues
using "nltest.exe /dsregdn" command.
Unfortunately, it's failing again after restarting NETLOGON service.
