Point all the servers to the same DDNS ad integrated DNS server and all will be well.
You can use netdiag or restart to net logon service to make the server refresh it's dns entries. -- Kevinm WLKMMAS, Exchange MVP -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Sumilang Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2003 6:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
