This article describes an issue in which the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) validation fails on a Windows Server 2012 R2-based DNS server. Before you install this update, see the Prerequisites section.

Cause

This issue occurs if the DNSKEY query is targeted for a name that has DNAME configured. In this situation, the Windows Server 2012 R2-based DNS server responds back with the DNSKEY rather than the correct target name.

Update detail information

Prerequisites

To install this update, you should first install April 2014, update rollup for Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 (2919355) in Windows Server 2012 R2.

Known issue

After you install this update, the DNAME resolution by Microsoft DNS Servers will be changed.

Previously, you could query for the domain (type=ANY or type=A) example.com, and get back the the host (A) record for the DNAME. After you install this update, that query fails.
