We are planning to upgrade our single NT domain to AD and I want to make sure I understand about how we will name the domain. Currently our NT domain name is SSD_DOMAIN0 (yeah, I know. I was handed it) and our registered domain name is santee.k12.ca.us. We are NAT'd behind a PIX and using 10. private address and only need our website and Exchange (5.5) visable to the internet. As I understand it, when I run the Win2k upgrade I will be asked for the FQDN, I assume that I should use santee.k12.ca.us, right. If I do, how will this affect our downlevel (we still have W9x) clients. I've read that I shouldn't use your registered DNS name for the AD, something like ssd.santee.k12.ca.us. Any advice on this subject would be appreciated.
