RE: Deposit file(s) on Wndows Server

Greg,

If you type in CHGTCPDMN <F4> and page down to the second screen, what do you have for
Domain name server:
Internet address
Internet address
Internet address

Often times you can set these to match what you see on your DNS entries on your PC. These can be seen with firing up the command prompt in Windows and entering
ipconfig /all | findstr /R "DNS\ Servers"
Sometimes you have to run this also
ipconfig /all | findstr /R "WINS\ Server"
On my PC the latter will return
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.10.4.252
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 127.0.0.1
Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 10.17.4.180
Secondary WINS Server . . . . . . : 10.10.4.250
The DHCP and both the WINS servers are some of our DNS servers. I'm not sure why they show here but not in DNS servers but I can do a
nslookup gdihq 10.10.4.252
nslookup gdihq 10.17.4.180
nslookup gdihq 10.10.4.250
to find the IP address of GDIHQ.

In summary, using host table entries is generally considered the root of all evil.

In your Windows based DNS you can have Alias (CNAME) records in order to have multiple zones or domain names for the same IP address. As shown by
C:\Users\rob>nslookup gdihq 10.10.4.252
Server: gdsdc02.dekko-1
Address: 10.10.4.252

Name: gdihq.corp.dekko.com
Address: 10.10.6.33
Aliases: gdihq.dekko-1
