RE: NT migration

Hmm I am not sure you have gone about this in the right way. Creating a
domain with a suffix of .com.local would never be advised, unless you had a
root domain called com.local but i probably wouldn't implement such a
confusing name strategy. You will have to try creating a zone called
domain.com on your new dns server and add the mail record there.

Hello,

I had a NT domain and I've tried to migrate it to 2003 AD. The NT domain
was called "domain.com". I took out the BDC from the network, promote it to
PDC and upgrade it to 2003. When I started "dcpromo" I was asked about the
domain name and had to choose smth different from "domain.com" so I chose
"domain.com.local". My question is regarding the MX entry: how can I add a
MX entry for "mail.domain.com"? I want the DNS server to resolve
"mail.domain.com" to an internal address.
