[THIN] Re: basic dns question

Forget that. Get a tool off the Internet called NetAlias. That will work
for all services...printing included.

Hi,

To access a file share using a DNS alias you have to create the following
registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

Value name: DisableStrictNameChecking
REG_DWORD
Value: 1

Unfortunately it doesn't work for printers though - MSCS is required for
that.

Thanks
Greg

The only implementation (I know of) and supported method of aliasing
netbios
node names and *using* them is as implemented in MSCS.

Otherwise, if you try and access a netbios resource, and don't use the
registered netbios name (or IP address) you throw snake eyes.

Hi,

I have a server w2k3 "toto1" in a NT domaine "dodo1"
when I do a net use z: \\ toto1\d$ works fine.

Now I create a alias in the dns for toto1 and name it "tutu2". I can ping
tutu2 no problem, I get a reply from toto1.

But when I try to map "net use z: \\ tutu2\d$" it just doesn't work!

Can anyone help me here?

Nicolas
