I remember this one gig where your setup mirrored mine. We had users yelling about black screens on their VDI desktops. Turned out the DNS wasn't resolving hostnames right. I poked around the server logs first. Saw errors pointing to stale records. Flushed the cache on the domain controller. But that didn't stick. Restarted the DNS service next. Still nada. Hmmm, thought maybe replication lag between DCs. Checked the event viewer for sync fails. Yup, there it was. Forced a replication and watched it propagate. Users cheered when connections flowed smooth again. Or sometimes it's firewall blocking ports. I double-checked those UDP 53 rules. Fixed that quick. And if it's client-side, you clear the local DNS resolver. Run ipconfig slash flushdns. Boom, often sorts it. But watch for certificate mismatches too. Those sneak in and break trust. Renew or rebind as needed. Covers most angles I hit.
