In Active-Directory, DNS.
Will Windows XP Pro. sp2 workstations able to register to the DNS in Domain
Controller?
Will the Windows Firewall blocked it by default?

Occassionally over the course of the day, when I do a DNS "A" record
lookup for any given domain, I will get a failure due to timeout.
I am using an in-house program that uses Windows Sockets to query the
DNS server.

We are running Microsoft Windows 2000 DHCP and DNS at our site. We also have
Windows XP workstations setup to acquire IP addresses through DHCP and
dynamically register their Host (A) resource records with DNS. Note also
that DNS and DHCP are both hosted on the same server.

I'm just wondering if this the following situation will work:
Clients/Member servers point to DNS MASTER server 1 and server 2, and all
have hostnames of "company.com" , because the Master DNS servers are
authoritative for "company.com" .  All the clients are also part of an NT4

I just upgraded my NT domain to 2003 AD.  We have a snapserver 12000 on
the network that I we can't reach anymore.  I'm not using wins anymore
since the upgrade, and in the config of the snap, there is no option to
enter dns address.  I upgraded to the latest OS, but still no luck.

Hi, I have a domain controller that is showing the following message in the
event log during startup;
Since the machine is a domain controller, I can't do what it says to do
below (open control panel, system, network etc...)

When setting up a new win2000 pdc, is it necessary to have DHCP and DNS
for a domain running on the same machine?  Can I have the primary dns
and dhcp services running on a different machine or do they have to run
on the PDC in order for the PDC to function correctly?

For years my company used an ISP that gave us a range of real IP addresses.
I set up DNS and DHCP on my Win2k Server without any trouble and it worked
perfectly. Recently we were solicited by a new ISP that ...

Is the following situation possible and functional? :
-DHCP provided by cisco devices
-All clients/member servers configured with hostnames of
[client].internal.net

So we are setting up our first Internal DNS server in a non-AD/non-DC
enviorment.  The server works perfectly when the root zone "." is
setup, I can do a NSLOOKUP on a name and get back the correct IP but as
I'm sure everyone is aware of you can not use fowarders with the root

We have three DCs--DC1, DC2, and DC3. We had an AD Integrated zone for our
forward lookup zone. On DC3, the zone showed as a secondary zone, so I tried
to change the type to an AD integrated zone (right-click, properties,
etc...), but it wouldn't allow it. I didn't write down the ...

I need to be able to lookup and get to single-label names via http and
UNC while still being able to get out to the internet.  I added
dns.mycompany.org to the DNS suffixes which allows nslookup to work but
http or a UNC

I recently created 2 sites, and now I am having nothing but trouble.  
Originally I had 1 network 192.168.1.0, then I created another 192.168.2.0,
joined together by a router.  I then created 2 sites, one for the
192.168.1.0, and another for the 192.168.2.0.  The site A (192.168.1 ...
