Remote WS2012E client PCs (that skipped domain join during install) can't surf after Update Rollup 3, here's the fix

Microsoft has actually tweaked the way this is handled, going forward, on both the client and the server. You could even argue that not only have they acknowledged the issue, but they've even offered a fix (sort of).

Windows Server 2012 Essentials Update Rollup 3 has arrived, with DNS fixes
