DNS/DHCP Single Site Configuration question?? |
|
|
I have the following setup scenario in a small office:
Window Server 2003 Small Business
Single Site/Domain, 1 Server only
10ea XP Pro SP2 Clients
Netscreen VPN enabled Firewall
The single server has been promoted to a DC & all clients joined succesfully
to the domain but I believe to have misconfigured DNS upon initially
promoting the Server. All XP Pro SP2 clients recieve the DHCP configuration
from the Netscreen Firewall applicance. The Netscreen DHCP Scope currently
releases 'external' DNS addresses provided by the local ISP to each XP
client. I do NOT have access to the Netscreen Router to modify the DHCP scope
or disable it.
Since I have set up internal DNS on the new Server (AD Integrated Zone). I'm
not entirely sure how to set up DNS correctly for this enviorment. My only
past experience has been when 2k3 DHCP & DNS lived together on the same DC
which practically set up itself. None of the Clients will not return FQDN and
I only recieve simple Netbios name resolution. LDAP of course does not
function correctly to query AD objects either.
How do I properly configure DNS for the office internally in this particular
scenario?
I'm lost in documentation overload at the moment..........
Thank you,

Is your netscreen device handing out addresses to your internal client? If
so, what DNS address is it handing out with it?

If you cannot disable or modify the DHCP on the firewall, you will need to
manually configure the local DNS server to all member clients. You can do
this while maintaining dynamic address assignment by the firewall, it is a
pain in the rear though.
You can also assign the XP clients the local DNS address in the default
group policy which will override the DHCP assignment.

Phil,
The Netscreen hands out the ISP DNS servers to internal clients, in this
case SBC DNS Servers.

Kevin,
Article 323380 specifically addressed my DNS setup questions. Thank you for
DHCP client setup information, this will be quite helpful as well.
