[ActiveDir] DC Problem

[Richard Sumilang]

The DNS problem is as follows, I setup a Windows 2000 Server with 
Active Directory and the works and now I'm trying to setup another 
Domain Controller for the network to help load balance the main server. 
So when I try to setup it up as another Domain Controller using 
dcpromo, it gets to the part where it try's to copy on over all the 
Directory information but errors out because it can't find 
my_company.net??? So do I actually have to purchase a domain and point 
it to my server or??? I thought that it could just use the NetBIOS name 
to find the computer but it try's to find it through the DNS name. I 
didn't set up anything on the DNS information under Administrative 
tools because I'm not too familiar with it yet and not sure if thats 
the problem. Any suggestions on this are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Richard S.
