Thank God you updated this thread. I have not slept a wink since 10-22-2013 because I was so worried about this. I can finally rest, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Another admin I know who runs a AD with a .local domain has setup Exchange with UPNs and I remember him saying he just bought a widlcard cert from GoDaddy and its been working fine for him.
Never having asked other people before I assumed split brain was the way to go from what I understood. But you guys all seem to agree about using a sub domain and when googling around (trying to find one of the books I was talking about) I kept seeing recommendation after recommendation to do...
I was scouring my laptop for a PDF copy of one of the books I used to study for the MCSE and do not have it on my laptop. I do still have all those books stored away at home. I had almost forgotten that they called it split brain DNS and the more I thought about it the more I remembered it...
Oh no, definitely not a bad thing and worrying about the security of public DNS servers is one less thing I have to worry about. I always have the option of setting up some public facing DNS servers in our DMZ and pointing our internal AD DNS servers to that but definitely not worth it.
I believe certificate issues were one of the main reasons mentioned in the later materials I've read about switching from .local to matching with the public domain or a subdomain of the public domain.
Well besides lazy people not typing in the "www" before our website, there's been any issues about it so it's not been a problem.
However, since we are using a 3rd party hosted DNS service and have no public DNS servers, anyone outside the LAN cannot access any machine inside the LAN except...
See, I've seen that even less often than company.com or company.local. When I was doing my MCSE (for 2003) all of the materials I went over was pushing .local. When I started studying some newer material (more like Server 2008) it all mentioned Microsoft recommending a good firewall and...
Well I couldn't think of a way it'd work and not cause AD problems but wanted to verify. However, although I know the rule used to be to use a .local (or other non-public) domain I thought that after I learned to do that Microsoft changed their mind and started recommending MATCHING the name to...
Maybe I was thinking of going from no SP to Sp3... You wouldn't think that'd come up much as Whistler wasn't around very long before SP1 came out but I work on so many old crappy machines for people that I've ran into a few Whistler machines even as recently as a few months ago.
Yup, I have SP1 (for those very rare times I run across a machine that doesn't have SP1 and has Windows "Whistler"), SP2, SP3, and all that other stuff on my flash drive. I'm about 75% sure you have to do SP1, SP2, then SP3 and can't skip.
I manage a small domain here at work with a single forest/single domain setup. Our domain name is the same as our public name (example.org) and we used to host our own web server here. We recently outsourced that to another place and are having a minor problem; when a user opens a browser and...
Yup, this guy has been using his hotmail for a long time and doesn't want to switch but at least he's not completely closed minded and is ready to do it.
I know another guy, in his 70's, who has been using Yahoo mail forever and just will not switch but keeps calling me up all the time...
Thank you for responding. I was starting to think I was going crazy. I couldn't find anything magical to do with Apple with this but thought I better ask some Apple guys first. I too was blaming it on the server's end and he said he thinks he first noticed very soon after receiving an email...
