RE: [ActiveDir] DNS vs NETBIOS name? Or something else?

The NetBIOS domain name and the DNS domain name do not have to match.  This is often something that occurs during an in-place upgrade from NT4 to W2K/W2K3.  The list that is presented in the drop down menu during logon display NetBIOS names.  When your users are logging in using [EMAIL PROTECTED] syntax (also known a User Principal Name or UPN) they should be able to do so regardless of what is listed in the domain drop down list – in fact if I remember correctly, when typing the UPN as soon as the “@” is typed the domain list should become inaccessible (grayed-out).

Crap, after sending this I realized that the title of the post was probably the phrase I should be searching on.

 

I don’t have access to the machine till tomorrow, but does this look like what I am looking for… http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/42545/42545.html

 

Unless you have any other thoughts or comments on the matter?

I just started with a company running AD 2003 and am a little confused about something. The domain name is domain.com, but when logging in there are two domains to select from. The second domain name is totally different; lets call it domint. It seems that users can only log in with the domint domain (unless they specify the local machine as the domain and [EMAIL PROTECTED]) . Is the domint some netbios crap? I know there is probably an easy answer, but I can’t seem to google the correct phrase to find anything.

 

As always, thanks much for helping out (retards like me).
