I want my win2003 sp1 DC (DHCP\DNS server also) to respond (UNC requests)
from XP clients to it's existing name and to the name of a decommisioned
win2000 server. I have had some replies about:
disabling 'strictnamechecking' registry keys and adding a CNAMES vaues

also about:
adding the old server name in 'optionalnames' registry keys and adding a
DNS entry.

i have read conflicting opinion about win2003 sp1 support for these 2
things, whether they work at all\cause kerberos errors\erratic responses to
requests etc. Can anyone give me concrete advice on which will work for my
setup!?

Hi



Make sure that you removed all references (including DNS, Srv records NS
records) to the Demoted server.

Then all you need is to create manually a New Host (A) record, AND /OR a PTR
Record, with the name of that failed DC, CNAME are used to map, generally 2
or more different A records.

No, you also need to disable StrictNameChecking. Otherwise Kerberos won't
work.

OptionalNames is for NT systems. OptionalNames breaks Kerberos too.

Use (disable) StrictNameChecking and add a CNAME or A record.
