Thanks for these instructions. I wiped out all the other things and added the A Records as needed. Each of the five zones looks like this. And I can login and browse youtube with no issues (forced restricted, but videos play, etc), but every time I've tried to navigate to video from any of the links I've tried from a curriculum, I get the error, "This video is Restricted. Try signing in from a Google Apps Account." But I am signed into an account - this would be expected behavior if the video had bad content. An example link is debit cards vs credit cards. No idea why this video would be blocked -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJtecS-DVkc This video is nearly identical, but not blocked.

I'm a simpleton who's trying to enforce safe mode for youtube via DNS from our 2012R2 server as discussed here: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6214622?hl=en I thought I have it setup per the instructions, but it is blocking access to accounts.youtube.com which then blocks access to many videos. Currently, the DNS forward lookup Zone for youtube looks like this: I made similar changes to youtube.googleapis.com, Youtubei.googleapis.com and youtube-nocookie Help is appreciated!
