Have you activly disabled Netbios on all workstations and servers, or
just not configured it?
Windows 2003, and windows xp still assume the use and config of Netbios
first in it's efforts to communicate with other windows systems, unless
you go out of your way to disable it, which greatly changes the way file
shares are accessed. (no more UNC pathing).
SRV records in DNS should make no difference. This is a netbios thing.
So, short answer to your original question. With what you've explained
of your setup, what you're seeing is fine. With no netbios control in
your domain you'll be spelling out the FQDN of the domain so machines
can find the records they need in DNS and can join properly w/ the child
domain. It's not wrong really, just the nature of a setup lacking a WINS
server to answer Netbios querries for the domain.

We are not utilizing WINS, so does that mean NETBIOS does not work
across different subnets? What about adding SRV record entries for the
child domain's shortname?
