I haven't looked at Cobbler's DNS in a long time, but Windows clients rely on the fact that AD servers set a number of DNS SRV records: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759550(WS.10).aspx I'm honestly unaware if cobbler has the capability of easily providing these, or not.
If you're just looking to have Cobbler as the authoritative source for DNS information, you might consider triggers that update your AD installation. This python package makes that very easy: http://code.google.com/p/python-ad/ On Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 12:42 PM, Mantenuto, Brian <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jim, > > > > We have a similar setup here with our storage though have not yet used > cobbler for windows systems as of yet.
