DNS (srv record missing for PDC)

Question

Hi,
in our company we have a domain with 4 domain controller (all are Windows Server 2008 with domain functional level 2003).
In the DNS, under _msdcs.OURDOMAIN.priv -> _tcp there are only the SRV _ldap record related to 3 domain controller; there isn't the record related to domain controller that holds the PDC role.
From some months we have also issues about GPOs replicas between domain controller.
It makes sense to create the missing record ? There may be a valid reason because it is not present ?
Thank you.

 Hi,
Did the PDC host the DNS role at the same time? If yes, please make sure that you have enabled secure dynamic updates on the DNS server. You can stop and restart
DNS server by running the command below at the command prompt:
net stop dns
net start dns
On the PDC, please stop and then restart the Netlogon service by running the commands below to see if the SRV record is created in the DNS server:
Net stop netlogon
Net start netlogon
If the above solution is not helpful, please try to
manually enter the SRV records from Netlogon.dns file in \Windows\System32\Config or create on the DNS console.
Best regards,
