Migration to Active Directory |
|
|
I have migrated my NT 4.0 PDC to 2003 and AD. The upgrade
was successful, and the clients (XPPro) can login into the
domain. The problems I am having are:
--The domain name on a couple of the existing workstations
was automatically changed to the DNS name of the domain.
While others still remain named the NETBios name of the
domain. (Looking at the Computer Name Properties Tab)
--I also have created a Default Domain Group Policy item
to direct the clients to my SUS server. Unfortunately,
none of the clients are using the SUS server, and looking
to MS for the Updates.
--The dynamic DNS is not updating for the clients. I
placed the DNS IP Address as the clients primary DNS
server address, and none are dynamically creating resourse
records. The DHCP server is on the BDC, running NT 4.0.
Any help would be appreciated!
I do have a BDC still running NT 4.0, is this why? Or is
there another cause? |

First, make sure there is no ISP DNS set in any of your servers/PCs, only you
internal DNS IP. You should only set the ISP DNS in the forwarders of your
DNS server.
Do a netdiag/fix and see if it helps.
