Whose Net Logon service registers GC SRV records?

Hello,

I was wondering if the Net Logon service of the domain controller that is
the GC does the registering or is it one of the root servers that has its
Net Logon service send the registration for a GC. For example, we have the
following scenario:

child DC becomes a GC

Empty root is updated, but DNS is held on separate W2K server boxes in
workgroup.

Does the child Net Logon send a message to these DC's or does the root do
it?

Child -- or rather EACH DC which is a GC does it's own registration.

Another reason your DNS must be correctly delegated and properly
rooted.
