Hi all.
I have 2 new running Debian Etch :-) server into an (old) Windows
environment.
Servers work like a charm, but i am not able to ping them by hostname.
They are configured with a static ip address and have samba installed and
working.
Is there some problem with adding the machines as A records in the Windows
DNS Management console?
I am not the Windows Administrator. So i call the man who administer
the DNS and DHCP server.
He tell me that the Windows 2003 DNS service does not allow dns entry
update if the machine is not registered in Active Directory.
He's talking out of his bottom.
I also walk the Dark Path, and I administer a Small Business Server
2003, based on Windows Server 2003. It has an Etch server, two routers
and a printer in the forward lookup zone of the local domain, absolutely
none of which are domain members, but all, by virtue of DNS entries,
known to AD.
How in hell's name does he make a gateway router an AD member? Possibly
AD won't accept a zone transfer from a non-AD machine, but there's
nothing stopping him entering it by hand.
It's right click, New Host (A)...
