We are trying to create an AG Listener and it errors out on us: ![enter image description here][1] It does however seem to create both the DNS entries and the virtual computer object in AD. However, because of this error message SQL backs out the creation of the Listener. ![enter image description here][2] So far we have tried: 1. Giving the user that sql runs as permission to create objects in AD 2. Pre-creating the DNS entries and computer object in AD The only reference I have found to this is at the following connect article, but I can't figure out what the exact fix is from the broken english: http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/686548/denali-ctp3-incorrect-error-message-when-setting-up-listener-with-no-dns-access .
