Re: Forest Migration DNS configuration?



Distant wrote:
Hi All,

I have a small forest migration, my windows 2000 domain in the source
and target is 2003 R2. 2 domain controllers in each.

I have configured the trusts but having attempted a number of DNS
configurations have not been able to get intraforest name resolution
for pcnames. DNS will resolve pcnames with the other domains suffix.
Essentially I have configured zone transfers from the target domain
and though the records are in the source domain I cannot get an
awnser to a lookup.

Is anyone able to summarise what I should configure to enable cross
forest resolution.

Configure the DNS suffix search list with the name of each of your domains.
