Just a quick addition - if suffices are defined then
the default (devolution) behaviour is disabled.
i.e.
you can one or the other and not both!
As a
result, you need to carefully pick and choose which suffices are added - if the
host specified is not found using one of the defined suffices, then the attempt
will fail (assuming WINS is not used).
Examples below:
Devolution (default - machine lives in
aaa.bbb.ccc.com):
ping
bob (assume bob registered in ccc.com)
DNS
client attempts bob.aaa.bbb.ccc.com, then
DNS client
attempts bob.bbb.ccc.com
DNS client attempts
bob.ccc.com ***success***
Suffices (suffices aaa.bbb.ccc.com and bbb.ccc.com
added):
DNS
client attempts bob.aaa.bbb.ccc.com, then
DNS client
attempts bob.bbb.ccc.com
No further attempts and the operation
fails

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] DNS suffix resolution..
I assume you are using WINS and the DCs of child and parent
domains are registered there. Therefore the netbios names are
resolving.
What happens when you try to ping the FQDN of the child domain server? Does
that work? I think your issue is you want the child domain suffix to be appended
automatically. My understanding is that it doesnt happen by default. However the
reverse is true. If you are in a child domain and ping or attempt to resolve a
name, it tries its own domain suffix before attempting to append the parent
domain suffixes. This is true as long as you havent disabled the default
behaviour, havent modified this through GPOs etc...
You can also specify a list of search suffixes to go through in a certain
order if you wish.

I have a Forrest with one forest root and one child domain.
The child domain is running windows 2000 SP4 and the HQ sites are running windows 2003 R2 standard.
I have the the child domain controller setup as an AD-integrated zone and i have the 2003 DNS servers setup to receive that zone as a secondary zone.
if i don't include the suffix search order on the nic cards' dns entry page, i just resolve the netbios names of the hosts at the remote site. for example.
hq = company.com
child domain = sales.company.com
when i initiate a ping from any host at HQ to a host in the child domain i only resolve the netbios name.
how can i resolve this ?
I've tried setting up dns name delegation in the past when i was running a full 2000 domain, but that name resolution never worked right and it wasn't timely.
thanks,
