Attempting to join .local AD domain fails with can't find controller

[ikiris]

Hi,
I'm trying to join my new scale setup to a working legacy .local domain and it fails with the can't find the dc dns error. Can someone point me to where the logs are kept for debugging this as I see no entries anywhere even with verbose mode checked? I've tried everything I can think of and the box itself seems to be able to properly resolve all the relevant dns roles etc.

My resolver has .local overridden to point to the proper local authorative servers, I've verified that lookups work correctly from the box provided they use the resolvers.

I was a msce, am a SRE, many many years experience so as far as I can tell everything is set up correctly on the domain side other than using the .local suffix, which I plan to fix eventually, but this should still be possible as is.

What am I missing here?

I had the same issue with a .local domain and the solution was to add the xxx.local domain as an entry in resolv.conf on truenas through the shell. I found the solution here
