RE: NT -> W2K3 DNS question

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

I understand that you have a mixed environment of NT+Unix. You want to
know if you upgrade the NT DC's, and use a namespace of "company.local",
will this break anything?

Based on my knowledge, you can use "company.local" and it will not break
anything when you upgrade from NT to win2k3 . However, for the current
situation on your side, since we lack of enough resource to know what kind
of mechanism for Unix to identify the DNS, I suggest you contact any third
party Unix support or post this question to Unix forum to get the most
efficient and professional support on this issue.

Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks & Regards
