This record:
2ef5f965-03c1-452b-9cd7-7d3d25eebad6._msdcs.uk-lab.lucent.com
Actually is not a SID, but rather the domain GUID. That is the identifier in
DNS and in the physical AD database identifying that domain. You can use
NTDSUtil to grab that data. As the record states, you can look under the
_msdcs zone in DNS to see that record. Each domain has one. To resolve it to
an IP, according to this output, it will look for this record in DNS under
the "uk-lab.lucent.com" zone:
(same as parent) Host 135.86.199.246

Now, according to this output, your AD DNS domain name is lucent.com or is
it "uk-lab.lucent.com"?? Which zone exists in DNS? What name are you using?

AD requires the SRV records, which get auto dynamically registered. If they
will NOT allow you to register, that is a tough one. You can provide them
the netlogon.dns file located in the system32\config folder, which has all
the records. You need to provide them this record from all DCs.
