When I do an IP config
I’m getting the correct IP addresses listed for the DNS servers. DNS is
set to have the child domains replicate with the root.

When
you say you're getting the "correct" DNS servers, what do you
mean?
Also,
are you replicating DNS zones for the child domains between sites? It strikes
me like what's really happening is that your child domains don't hold each
other's DNS zones, so you can only see the local info.

Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS issues?
I
have a problem with my DNS over the WAN and VPN. Here is the
issue. For some reason DNS will not resolve names over the WAN, or
VPN. I can only connect to resources by IP address. This problem
started when I upgraded my network in January. We switched to a Cisco
IP phone system along with all Cisco gear (VPN concentrator, PIX firewall,
switches, routers…lots of money spent). We also upgraded our network
at the same time from W2k to Server 2003. We have a Point to Point T
between our sights and a T1 for internet access here. We have about 30
people who VPN into the network on the VPN concentrator. Our AD (I
actually run all IT for 3 companies, same owners) is one Root domain with 3
child domains 1 for each company. All common resources and user
accounts are in the root. Computer accounts and private resources are in
each child domain. The child domains share nothing. Due to the phone
system we have several V-LAN’s one for voice, VPN, Guest, and computer
network.
When
I am at the other location I can’t browse the network, or attach to mapped
drives from my logon script (they don’t even appear). I can only
attach to resources if I create a new mapped drive by IP address. When
I do an IP config I get all the right DNS servers listed. I can only
ping them by IP address. The same situation happens when I VPN from
home. We had DNS only on the network. My Cisco vendor told me
it’s not their gear. I added WINS to see if this would help…it did
not. Any suggestions on what I could have configured incorrectly?
Could it be the Cisco routers?
Thank
you for the help!
