I have a strange problem on my standalone win2003server.
when i do a nslookup www.microsoft.com on my DC, it tries to resolve
www.microsoft.com.mydomain.com and doesn't find right the ip adress.
It always adds mydomain.com after every request.

I recently added an second NIC connected to an iSCSI device to my
domain controller.  DNS is picking up that second IP address (it is on
a separate subnet).  This is causing weird issues with AD - for
example, when I try to remote desktop into a server that is on the

when i do a ipconfig /all i get this
hostname:  .....
pimair dns-....
......

i want to reroute traffic to eg. smtp.hotmail.com to eg. smtp.yahoo.com
How can i do that on my win2003 dns server while neither yahoo or hotmail is
my domein name?

Is there a way to implement a cost for DNS to keep dns queries to a certain
host?  I have two physically separate sites that are part of the same forest.
Each site has 2 domain controllers running DNS.  Each site has it's own DFS
root and not the other site's DFS root - I didn't ...

We are in the middle of an upgrade to Windows 2003 servers from Windows 2000.
It appears that when we promote a new server to a DC, all goes well but then
we start to experience replication issues. Performing a dcdiag results in a
connectivity failure test. We did open a case ...

Hi - here's the story:
When we first took on one particular client, we inherited their existing
domain name, mydomain.org. This is a public domain in a private network,
which is basically the root of our problems.

I'm migrating one of my clients from Windows Server 2003 to 2008.  However,
DNS recursive query and nslookup are failing on the new 2008 DC.  Yes,
recursion is enabled (or rather not disabled on Advanced tab).  I have the
same forwarders and root hints as my working 2003 DC and I ...

I have a small private workgroup with 10 PCs and one 2003 server running DNS.
I decided to change the forward zone by adding corp.company.org which is
replacing company.org.
I changed the server's NIC properties and the properites in My Computer so

What actually this aging ang scavenging setting in AD integrated DNS do? I
have enabled it with default settings in our 2003 AD. In our network all
clients use DHCP to obtain ip settings. Now I have noticed that in the
reverse lookup zone there are duplicate entries for some ...

Been doing some tidying of our 2003 R2 AD Integrated DNS to remove some
forward and reverse records that used upper case.
For the PTR records I deleted them using dnscmd.exe and they appear to
have gone and stayed gone.

We're experiencing some very slow network logins in our domain (funct level
2003). We have one 2003 and one 2008 DC which also operate as DNS servers.
In trying to solve slow logins I've going trough our DNS records. In both
DNS servers there is a duplicate entry for our DC's in ...

Our company wants to change the DNS record. How long will the change be
synchronized to all the DNS servers around the world?

I have a windows 2000 Server and about 10 XP workstations. Every station has
a problem accessing the uk.msn.com webpage.  The page cannot be displayed.
I don't beleive it is a DNS issue because if i ping the address, it resolves
to 213.199.164.17 - and i have tried using different ...

Gurus,
My company has a split-DNS setup and runs some additionally zones as well
(Microsoft AD for internal and BIND for external).  Management wants a
"single pane of glass to see a listing of every IP address "on the network"
