Yes, workstations can join the domain dell2000 and when
they log in, they log into dell2000, even though their
computer name is "user.companydomaain.com"

I did follow the wizards when installing SBS. And I did
use the Company's registered domain name such as
companydomain.com, instead of companydomain.local. I
thought this was optional.

The NT server has always been there and stil is. The
dell server was purchased, but was immediately infected
by a virus, so was reformatted and re-installed ... and
then hooked back into the network.
Users were set up via active directory users and
computers.
The appropriate IP settings were used in order to connect
to the internet.

Should there be a problem with using the company's
registered name for the domain and dell2000 for the mixed
mode name?

I am wondering what change I might make at this time.
Maybe I should change it to native from mixed?? I'm not
sure why companydomaain.com is showing (yet unaccessible)
together with the mixed mode name of dell2000 in network
places.
