I ran into the same issue years ago the following group policy settings are how I resolved it. This could easily be overkill, but since the above answers didn't cover things from a group policy angle here goes.

  • Register DNS records with connection-specific DNS suffix: enabled
  • Register PTR Records: enabled
  • Dynamic Update: enabled
