WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
To work around this problem, decrease the number of records in the resource record set. Based on the example in this article, decrease the number of active global catalog servers in Active Directory. For example, use the DnsAvoidRegisterRecords registry key. Add the following registry keys on the global catalog servers that you want to unregister in DNS:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
Value: DnsAvoidRegisterRecords
Data type: REG_MULTI_SZ
Gc
GcIpAddress
GenericGc
