Description

xADDomain works as intended when creating a child domain and supply credentials for the parent domain via the DnsDelegationCredential parameter; xADDomainController does not so the DNS Delegation for the additional Domain Controller is never created in the parent domain. xDnsServer doesn't support using NS type, so it can't be added that way via DSC either. I'm sure the latter could be done via a script resource, but it would be nice to have xADDomainController add the delegation during promotion.

Research direction

Compare how xADDomain handles DnsDelegationCredential with the xADDomainController promotion path, and review the stated xDnsServer limitation for NS records. Done means xADDomainController creates the DNS delegation in the parent domain when promoting an additional domain controller.
