We are setting up servers for a hosted backup site.  We currently have 2
workgroup servers at the hosted site.  For full backup testing I would
like to set up a domain controller for the hosted site using our
companyname.com FQDN, and add the worgoup servers to the domain.  Can I ...

I have node that I recently removed. While it was up, I could get good name
resolution if I pinged it with FQDN. If I pinged it with just the host name,
the IP address came back with an incorrect ip address(in truth the ip address
was one that the node was given by the DHCP ...

For some certain unavoidable circumstances I have to demote and
re-promote AD using a different name. As such I stand to lose all AD
information (which I don`t have many).
I would just like to ask that if I delete my current AD will any files

I'm looking for a VBS or Perl script that can import forward & reverse
zone files from BIND into AD DNS.  
Any such tool?

I am going to install a Win2003 it will be a domain controller. I am going
to install  DNS Server Service and DHCP Server Service but this scenario will

What are some issues that may arise when you attach w2k3 servers to a domain
with w2k server?
We are experiencing some issues with a w2k3 server cluster and the w2k
server DNS.

I have read differing things online in other posts so I thought I would
just ask.
Our current setup: Multiple domain controllers, mostly 2000 server but
we have one 2003 DC. DNS is currently running on a Windows 2000 Domain

First an explanation of the setup we have:
Domain sstl.co.uk is the primary domain of our organisation and is
available both internally and externally.  However, the internal DNS
server (actual members of that Win2K domain that is internal only and

I have this msg when I try to log in into a win2k server box:
The system can't let you log in because the domain ORGA is unusable
(Traduction from:
系統目前無法讓您登入,因為網域ORGA無法使用)

I'm hoping somebody can help me. We run to DNS servers on Win 2K3, no AD.
The primary suffered a hardware failure si I reinstalled from scratch
and configured the DNS again. The problem is that reverse DNS seems to
be failing and as a result, we are having a lot of mail rejected.

dear dns gurus,
is it possible to for an ad-integrated zone to make a zone transfer to a
standard (unix-based) secondary dns zone. and how does it work in the other
direction:

hello ng,
i'm just preparing my mcsa 2003 examen. i found this test-question and i'd
like to have your opinion. i would say a is correct. b does not make any
sense to me. but i am not sure about c + d. both could be correct. but d

We have Active Directory with 5000 users, and every Domain Controller
is a DNS server as well. To allow resolving external DNS adresses there
are two options:
1. Open outbound TCP/UDP 53 connections from the domain controllers

Our Windows 2000 sp4 DNS servers keep sending queries to our UNIX DNS server
continuously looking for names that the UNIX DNS server says that they IP
addresses are invalid.  I would expect the W2k DNS server to stop quering for
these names once its been told that a particular IP ...
