Re: Fresh sbs install needed?

I am probably the most RABID proponent of 'you stuffed up and named your AD
DNS the same as your internet FQDN' however not even I would call it the
basis for a reinstall.

You should have named your AD DNS whatever.something_private, .lan is my
preference because Mac OS and some versions of Linux have started treating
..local (as advised by the installation wizard) in a special manner. There is
_no reason_ for your AD DNS name to reflect your public namespace.

I will go so far as to say that _IF THIS IS A NEW INSTALL AND YOU ARE NOT
YET TOO COMMITTED_ it is worth rectifying. With three attached ws's I'd
probably do it.
