Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS Name Question
Hello!
Pardon me for a basic question, but an
important question I need to
understand...
We are finally in the beginning phase of
moving to AD from NT 4.0 environment
and in the process of picking DNS name for our company. Our
environment is
pretty simple so we
are going through domain upgrade instead of using the
migration method. Our company has domain
Company.com running on non Windows DNS
servers. Sine we don't want to run our company's DNS on Windows
environment, we
have to choose new
domain name for AD, correct? So we came up with Company.Corp
as the name for our Windows
DNS. My concern is that it's not a qualified domain
that can't ever be registered with Internic even if we
ever wanted to do it in the
future
(Who know what's going on in the future???).
I am wondering if anyone can point me to good documentation that goes over the best practice of picking proper names or tell me that we should not be using .local or .corp
for the reason I stated above. Or can't
we just use something like
Corp.Company.com? Or I should just relax and just use .local or
.corp our internal DNS name servers...
I'd appreciate any feedback you can give me.
Thank you in advance,
Brian
