There's a setting in Windows 2000 that tells the machine to change the suffix when
membership changes.
I don't think you have much to be woried about though. Maybe some machines haven't
rebooted since the upgrade so the changes have been made.
In any case I would recommend installing support tools on clients and running netdiag
/fix to check for problems.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Primary DNS Suffix - Domain problems(?)
I recently promoted 3 servers to DCs on my existing single-domain, NT4
network. We did an in-place upgrade and decided to create a new DNS
namespace for our internal corporation. We are keeping the old DNS zone for
now and migrating clients and servers away from it. Public-facing apps will
continue to exist in the old DNS zone. Both the new and old DNS zones are
ADI and allow dynamic updates. We have a mix of 9x->XP clients. Servers
are NT4 or W2K.
Here's what bothers me ...
Some of the servers list the new DNS zone (xyz.net) as their domain and
primary DNS suffix while others list the old NetBIOS domain (WIDGET) as
their member domain with the primary DNS suffix listed as either the old DNS
domain (abc.com) or <blank>. Of the servers that changed to the new DNS
name, all are W2K - yet not all of the W2K servers show the change. Some W2K
client PCs exhibit this change as well, but not all.
I'm not having DNS issues since I've duplicated necessary records from the
old DNS zone to the new.
Not all of the servers and PCs have been restarted - not sure if only the
restarted ones show the change.
---------------------------------------
I'm wondering if this seems normal or if there anyone sees any problems with
this until I can get everything moved to the new DNS zone.
