Re: First Win2003 Server

Hi,

"our internal (W2k3) domain name is exactly the same as our external
(registered or public) domain name"

That's the problem. If you concern is just cannot resolve the http site, as
a simplem method, you can add an A record named "www", point it to the
external web site's ip.

However, as a long time consideration, I still suggest you rename internal
or external domain name to distinguish them. Because there will be
potential issue if they have the same name.

thanks.

I forgot to mentioned that our internal (W2k3) domain name is exactly the
same as our external (registered or public) domain name. Hope that helps
describe my problem.

I can access ALL internet sites just fine except our own company website
hosted at our ISP webserver (outside our network). All of our internal
machines use Win2k3 DNS server for name resolution.

The problem is W2k3 DNS server is the authoritative DNS for our domain
name
so when we try to access www.ourcompanydomain.com (not the real name),
W2k3
DNS can't resolve it (there is no record for www.ourcompanydomain.com)
and
won't forward it to the root hint servers either. To resolve the
problem,
I
must manually add a record in the DNS so that it can forward the request
to
our ISP web server IP address.

I'm not sure what record to add. That's what my question is.

Hi,

From your description, I suspect the symptom is you cannot access any
web
sites in the Internet.

I think we'd better find some clues from the DNS log. Please enable
DNS
debug log and send me the log. Please refer to following steps:

1. Open DNS console.
2. Right click the server and choose properties.
3. Click Tab "debug logging"
4. Enable logging and specify the log path.
5. Restart the DNS server.
6. From any client in the domain to access a internet website for
example:
www.google.com
7. Stop the DNS server and send me the log to v-xuwen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks.

I've just added a Windows 2003 server by installing it over NT4 PDC
installation. This machine is then configured as AD controller and
DNS
server. We now can't browse to company website
(www.our-company-name.com)
hosted by our ISP.

IIRC I saw a KB article @microsoft.com that shows us how to add a
record
in
the W2k3 DNS server to make it work. I can't remember which record
to
add
and I can't find that article no more. Help pls. Thanks.
