Re: [Samba] name resolution: dns name different to windows machinename
Hi, DNS is DNS and WINS is WINS. XP Machines in a Samba3 Domain with WINS will resolve their names by WINS. What must be exactly the same is the netbios name of your workstations( if it is part of your dns-name). You cannot change your netbios name five times a day without put for each name an entry in your samba db. I think what your dns administrator will do is give each machine a dynamic ip with exactly the same host name. --- EDV Daniel Müller Leitung EDV Tropenklinik Paul-Lechler-Krankenhaus Paul-Lechler-Str. 24 72076 Tübingen Tel.: 07071/206-463, Fax: 07071/206-499 eMail: muel...@tropenklinik.de Internet: www.tropenklinik.de --- -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-boun...@lists.samba.org] Im Auftrag von t...@tms3.com Gesendet: Dienstag, 21.

In general I don't think workstations machines need to be in DNS at all since (unless you have shared folders or printers.) It's certainly easier when a help desk request comes in to ask the user for the machine name label, then try and get the machines IP addy. rdp://acct1 rdp://lab7 rdp://eng21 rdp://admin5 soo But yeah, WinXP and up have no problem doing this. dhcp can be a big help as well. I general DISABLE dynamic updates in DNS and don't have DNS assignments/static IP's for most XP machines. -Original Message- From: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-boun...@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Marcus Sent: Monday, December 20, 2010 5:17 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] name resolution: dns name different to windows machine name Hi, we are running a samba domain controller as master with activated WINS. The machine name of each WinXP client is set manually during the installation initial process. Each client is using the WINS server of our domain controller. The WinXP clients are getting their IP by a global DNS Server, which sets the DNS and reverse DNS entry identically to the windos machine name. Now the administrator of the DNS server is planning to change the DNS and reverse DNS concept in the way that the DNS and reverse DNS entry will be not identically to the windows machine name any more. The WinXP clients will get a generic, randomly set DNS/reverse DNS entry. Does this have any effects for functionality of my samba domain controller and/or the WinXP clients?

Samba 3 domain is compatible with NT domain. NT domain uses only NetBIOS name which can be resolved by WINS (or LMHOSTS or broadcast...), not DNS. So the change of DNS settings will not affect your samba domain. --- TAKAHASHI Motonobu mo...@samba.gr.jp -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
