You name it, we got it. Win 7, XP and 2008 R2 RDS. SP 1 on 7 and 2008 R2. 3 on XP. And I would say mostly Win 7. Oh, and we got Ipad 2 but deep down I hope they break.
" Because a CNAME must be the only Resource Record defined for a given domain name." So SOA and NS are considered resource records? Because that is all that is in that zone.

SOA blah blah blah DNAME nosslsearch.google.com<http://nosslsearch.google.com/>. No www.google.com<http://www.google.com> in my record, that is the zone name. You can't have a Resource Record without a domain name. It's simply not possible in the protocol. When the GUI shows you the "zone", the domain name is implicit. :) At the protocol level, zones don't exist explicitly. They're a higher level construct, implied by the the existence of certain records. Where you have your example record below change the left column to read 'same as parent folder' all the way down including the DNAME. Same thing. :) I was using the standard notation for DNS records, which is defined in RFC-1035 Section 5<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035#section-5>. It's sometimes called "zone file" or "master file". In that format, if the LHS (left-hand-side) is blank, the LHS of the previous record is implied. In addition to what you show I also have all my name servers in that record of course. Right, right. I did leave that out. :) Actually, if you want to ask a question the one that is on my mind is why wouldn't it take the CNAME record when I wanted to add it. It seems to me it should have and that was the suggested solution. Over on another list some of the people are still scratching their head as to why it errored on me when I tried to add the CNAME...leaving the alias blank (same as parent folder) and adding nosslsearch.google.com<http://nosslsearch.google.com> for the target FQDN. Because a CNAME must be the only Resource Record defined for a given domain name. I explained this<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg109449.html> earlier in this thread. :-) 2008 R2 integrated DNS. What Service Pack? What about the clients? For example, are they mostly Win 7/Vista? Or is it a typical school where anything can happen and often does? :) My problem was that other than the SOA and NS records I had no other records to remove. The behavior on this seemed to have changed starting with 2003 and up. See what I mean about depending on undefined (or invalid) behavior? Then someones goes and fixes their code, and the thing you were depending on doesn't work anymore. :-) Get me the story on the clients and I'll ask over on dns-ops. I'm curious myself, now. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
