Hi list, A few days ago I configured dnsmasq so that my internal users
would use it as the main DNS, but I have some problems, if I try to
connect a PC with Windows to the active directory it cannot do so.

AFAIK Active Directory requires/includes DNS and if you use AD, you should use AD's DNS servers.

If dnsmasq forwards all requests to AD servers, it COULD work, but
why to have dnsmasq then?

there are still requests that can be changed/responded by dnsmasq, which may cause your troubles.

my Active Directory is windows server 2019 and it is my main dns, for
computers with windows 10/11.

This is the configuration for dnsmasq to work with active directory:

more /etc/dnsmasq.d/ad2019.domain.conf

# forward lookups
server=/ad2019.domain.com/172.16.8.32

# PTR/reverse lookups
server=/16.172.in-addr.arpa/172.16.8.32
server=/17.172.in-addr.arpa/172.16.8.32
server=/168.192.in-addr.arpa/172.16.8.32

ip active directory: 172.16.8.32

config of file dnsmasq.conf

local=/domain.com
domain=domain.com

any help or experience in this scenario?
