I was on the "Check and fix DNS entries on DC joins" page of the wiki and discovered: root at tdc01:~# host -t CNAME a486dd66-59c8-411b-9c04-98f03d998226._msdcs.test.bob a486dd66-59c8-411b-9c04-98f03d998226._msdcs.test.bob is an alias for tdc01.test.bob. a486dd66-59c8-411b-9c04-98f03d998226._msdcs.test.bob is an alias for TDC02.test.bob. I noticed that my first DC is all small case letters in the FQDN and the second DC is partially capitalized FQDN. So far the testing says it doesn't matter . . . do I care about caps or not? What is the correct way? As this is my test environment I do not care but in my production environment, well . . . will this tiny detail become an issue? The clients are micro$oft machines after all! Will the clients care? -- ------------------------- Bob Wooden of Donelson Trophy 615.885.2846 (main) www.donelsontrophy.com [1] "Everyone deserves an award!!"

Will the clients care?No. DNS names are case insensitive: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4343.txt If you're looking for an MS statement about this: :-) https://support.microsoft.com/kb/909264/en "...DNS is not case-sensitive..." Regards, Marc
Why this is, i dont know. but it does not seem to be any problem.
