dNSHostName

also known as DNS-Host-Name

dNSHostName holds a host's fully qualified DNS name, and it is how a computer account advertises where to reach it; its Kerberos SPNs are built from this value. One wrinkle worth filing away: Microsoft gave this exact OID a second, unrelated life as LDAP_SERVER_LAZY_COMMIT_OID, the control that lets the server acknowledge a write before flushing it to disk. One number, two meanings, which is the sort of thing that bites you exactly once.
