Hello all,
I have a particular problem. I am running several XP
machines on a network running active directory. I need to
set the primary DNS on the client machines to a different
DNS then the domain controller. However, this dns server
does not list the domain controller in it. I am currently
having problems with the clients with opening network
resources. It takes an extremely long time. Under the old
PDS setup, I would just put a listing in the host file for
the controller. But that doesn't work under Active
directory.
Here is my question. How can I tell the xp client where
the domain controller is with out using DNS? Is there
something that I can place in the host file with the ip
address of the domain controller? There has to be someway
to point the XP machines to the domain controller without
using DNS.
Thanks
Mike
