RE: [ActiveDir] nslookup. AD beginer question

[Akomolafe, Deji]

You mean, you did the following:   nslookup <Enter> set q=a<Enter> domain.com<Enter>   and the IP you got is for a user's desktop?   If so, one reason could be because someone created an A record in DNS for domain.com and mapped it to the desktop's IP. Maybe because the desktop is running web service and hosting the domain.com web site.   Is this what you meant? If so, you will need to go and delete the record. You will then need to tell your users that they will not be able to get to the domain.com website site any longer because that is your AD domain name. You could create another A record named (for example) WWW under the domain.com zone and give it the desktop's IP and tell your users that they should now use http://www.domain.com/ to get to that website instead of domain.com   This is a fairly common misconfiguration. And it's a big problem for your clients and DCs.   Sincerely,    _____                                  (, /  |  /)               /)     /)       /---| (/_  ______   ___// _   //  _  ) /    |_/(__(_) // (_(_)(/_(_(_/(__(/_ (_/                             /)                                     (/       Microsoft MVP - Directory Services www.akomolafe.com - we know IT -5.75, -3.23 Do you now realize that Today is the Tomorrow you were worried about Yesterday? -anon From: Ramon Linan Sent: Mon 8/28/2006 1:03 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] nslookup. AD beginer question Thanks, but after reading all that I still was not able to find out what kind of information do you get when you do lookup domain.com, being domain.com your AD domain, and why am I getting a user’s computer.   Thanks   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Akomolafe, Deji Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 2:21 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] nslookup.

AD beginer question Hi Everyone,   When I do a nslookup domain.com, being domain.com my AD domain, what should I see? A list of the dns server in my domain? A list of the DC?   The fact is that I am doing nslookup and I am getting, domain controllers but also a user’s computer!!!!   Thanks
