Re: Netbios name resolves to "wrong domain"



First of all, do you have WINS?

Without WINS, and you query by the flat, non-FQDN name, then the client's
domain name gets automatically appended to the query and the preferred DNS
server listed in client's IP properties looks in the zone of "domain name"
for that host. Are you following me?

When you have multiple domains, it gets a little more complicated. You said
you are forwarding from the child to the parent root domain, but in the
parent domain, how does it know how to reach all the other child domains?
Delegation zones? Stub zones? Conditional Forwarding? Secondary Zones?
For each domain in the enterprise, are you replicating ADI to all DCs in the
domain, all DNS servers in the domain, or to all DNS servers in the forest?

Question, how does that work? A client tries to query a hostname only, so
the client takes the first name in the search order, of course, and then
forwards the query to it's first DNS server. I'm just confused at why the
DNS server would return a FQDN that doesn't exist.
