Where the "Primary DNS Suffix . . . . . . . : com" comes from beats
me, but it sure looks like what's getting tacked onto the end of the
nslookup line!

Any suggestions before I start in with the crowbar and chain saw?!


This is an Exchange server isn't it?

Exchange requires Active Directory, which requires its own DNS resolution.

Is it also the domain controller?

Is DNS installed on the Domain Controller?

What is the AD domain name?

The Primary DNS suffix may be incorrect, but it should match the AD domain
name, if the AD domain name is com it is a single label domain name which is
big problems for Active Directory.
All AD domain Member MUST use ONLY DNS servers that support the AD domain,
these appear to be your ISP's DNS which is highly unlike to support your AD
Domain.

Getting close, please reply with the answers from the questions above and it
should be cleared up after my next reply.
