I tried what you listed, Rob, but it still wasn't working.
I have it half-working right now.
The new server I care about isn't the one I was testing with (had no shares setup yet). I added it to our host table, and created the directory for it in QNTC, and low and behold - there it was. My only guess is that because we had this particular user setup as a local user on that machine that it's able to log into the machine. Other servers where the user is not set up as a local user still get the Access Denied.
Sure, I'd love to know how to get those to work, but since we are planning on being on one domain, and since I have no need to hit the other servers currently, I'm going to have to leave it at that.
I appreciate everyone's input. I've definitely learned at least a little bit - especially about CFGTCP.
Thanks,
Kurt

There's two things in question here:
1 - Your DNS
2 - Your domains.
1 - Your DNS
You should have more than one DNS listed at CFGTCP, option 12 Domain name server:
Internet address . . . . . . . '10.10.4.250'
Internet address . . . . . . . '10.10.4.252'
Internet address . . . . . . . '10.17.4.180'
We have three. If your dc1.customcall.com controller doesn't cascade into MSN-DC-001.edge.local.com then list both of them here (at least).
2 - Your domains.
You should have both local.customcall.com and the domain of the peers that QNTC is trying to point to at CFGTCP 12,
Domain search list . . . . . . . 'dekko-1 corp.dekko.com dekko.com'
I've recently made this change as we are trying to move off of 'dekko-1'
to 'corp.dekko.com'. While a dash is approved in the standards apparently closed proprietary systems like Linux often do not like the standards.

Scott - I've tried IP addresses within the domain and they work, but
outside the domain they don't.
Rob:
Our domain name is local.customcall.com.
I'm told our domain controller is dc1.customcall.com, and the other dc is
MSN-DC-001.edge.local.com.
Currently our Domain Search list is *DFT - which according to the help
means it uses the domain name.
So I'm not sure if I should change the domain search to use the
customcall.com's local or dc1 address.
I don't want to break anything...

Subject: QNTC and multiple Domain Controllers
Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Am I right in thinking that when using QNTC (which I believe uses
NetServer) it can only connect to one domain controller?
After our company was bought out, we've had a partial transition to the
owner's domain controller. The rest of the transition will occur
eventually, but we're not there yet. Our Power system is on the old
domain, but I am looking to access a new server on the new domain. I
asked that the new server be temporarily added to the old domain until our
Power system was moved to the new domain, but corporate isn't excited
about that (and I honestly don't blame them).
So - if getting QNTC to recognize multiple domain controllers is a
possibility, I'd like to get that set up, otherwise I'll just have to push
on getting our Power system on the new domain.
Sidenote: I am not networking minded, so please keep it simple. ;)

I was using this as a reference. In #8.c it says all servers must be on
the same domain, but I'm thinking that's just for the DNS config option?
