Do you have:

    1) At least a TWO-TAG domain name?

    2) Each server, especially DC & DNS server, completely
        named (with domain name) in each's System Control Panel

[If not, fix #2 and ask here or search Google for the fix
to #1 -- both are very bad.]

Server_name by itself would be fine since that would
append the full name on there, but the "." (dot) terminates
the name.

The normal case is that the full name is actually written out
in there with the terminating dot, e.g., server.domain.com.
