That is definitely not normal, and the others have pointed at the most
obvious cause - DNS. You need to have either a MS DNS or a DNS that is
compatible with it, or at least supports SRV records. Also, the
clients and services on the server must be setup to automatically
register themselves with DNS otherwise things won't go well. Consider
such elements as DHCP and WINS as well as DNS.
I think you need to do a bit of reading. There's any number of book
about Windows 200x AD domains, but probably not too many about NDS to
AD migration. There's probably a heap of stuff on the MS web site
though.

There's likely to be what might be called a pro-Microsoft flavour to
the articles, which I've not looked at myself, just dredged them from
the knowledge base. It depends on how much of a fan of Novell you are
how that affects you! For myself, I did NOT like being a user of a
Novell network, but that maybe could have been due to the way it was
set up!
