Hi,
I looked in DNS and found that the SOA and Name
Server entries refer to our old domain name. I wasn't
surprised by this as we are still in mixed mode as we
have NT4 BDC's. Am I right in thinking that it's OK, or
should those entries be using the new domain name
we started using when we introduced win2k?

With regard to running Kerbtray, under "names" I got
the following entries...

Client Name: host@DOMAIN2.COM
srever name: Krbtgt/DOMAIN2.COM@DOMAIN2.COM
Target Name: Krbtgt/DOMAIN1@DOMAIN2

Where Domain2 is our current domain name and
DOMAIN1 is our old domain name. It seems as
though our Win9x and NT4 clients still use the old
Domain name when logging on, but the win2k use the
new domain name. I presumed this was because of
the mixed mode and for backward compatability.

Any thoughts??
