Re: exchange set up

all members of an Active Directory should only look to DNS servers which
contain information about the AD. This applies to the DC's themselves as
much as it applies to client computers.

AD DC's normally run DNS as an AD integrated zone so the 'norm' is for all
members to use _only_ AD DC's for DNS. The DNS server(s) on the DC(s) will
then satisfy queries outside the AD by the use of either 'forwarders' or
'root hints'. It is quite feasible to use other DNS servers but such servers
need to be aware of all objects in the AD DNS space, your ISP's DNS servers
hopefully know NOTHING about your AD and therefore should not be used in the
NIC properties.

In a single server SBS environment it is quite straightforward, all members,
including the SBS itself, should look to the SBS's internal network address
for DNS. The CEICW configures the DNS server on SBS to use either root hints
or 'forwarders' if you supply them.

Assuming you only have one nic
The only dns address that should be listed is the IP address of you nic
10.0.1.6

Then when you run the CEICW again...it will ask you for the IP Addresses
of your ISPs DNS server and you'll put in the addresses you got on the
NIC DNS now
