Renaming a domain server 2003 std

[janesssssy]

As title really. I have a domian called *****net.local
However i have found out that a Mac needs to go on to it.

My limited knowledge, and my collegue has told me that the domain needs to be called or atleast could be called *****net.org : getting rid of the local part.

Is this true and if so is it possible with out reloading the server from scratch.

Thanks for any info.

yeh, unfortunately macs dont like it when the domain contains the name local and i believe people are told on MS courses that its best practise to use that. Anyways, cant remember exactly how we got around it, but I think we did something with the DNS to work around it. I'll see if i can find out some more.

Sounds interenting, Any new info.
That goes for any one else.

if for some unknown reason i cant get that to work, Is there a way to change a windows Domain name?


csmager: hope this will be the end of it thank you.
