Description David Spurek 2013-05-09 13:27:36 UTC
Description of problem:
AD DNS timestamps have strange values. SSSD is configured with 'dyndns_update = True' entry. But DNS timestamp in AD have strange value after the entry is added. Here is an example:

Date on AD machine is '5/9/2013 3:24 PM', but added DNS entry has timestamp '5/9/2013 3:00:00'

I think it is strange, but maybe it is a problem on AD side.

SSSD has nothing to do with the timestamps, it just sends the nsupdate to AD, the timestamps are generated by AD.

Comment 2 Jakub Hrozek 2013-05-16 15:43:24 UTC
I double checked the Microsoft documentation to make sure the timestamps are expected. Turns out they are, AD generates the timestamps rounded down to the nearest hour:

See for example:

But you're right that we didn't mention this explicitly prior to the test day. I will amend our test plans accordingly. Thanks!
