Got a real strange one. We have Windows 7 semi rolled out to our parent domain mydomain.local without any issues. We are running Windows 2003 servers with SP2.
In a child domain otherlocation.mydomain.local,, Windows 7 machines behave strangely. If I use the local DC as DNS, without even joining the domain, nslookup responds back with a response to the first query then the other 2 queries timeout. The same thing happens with pings. If I set the DNS to our parent site, DNS and pings work fine. I viewed the packets with Wireshark. The requests are going out from the Windows 7 machine OK, but after the first request the packets aren't making it to the local server. Tried different ports on the switch but can't seem to make heads or tails from this one. Windows XP machines there work fine, nothing else squawking on the DC. The Windows XP machine all use the local server for their DNS. I have puzzled and puzzled till my puzzler was sore..... ~ 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
