this could be it, right my computer, select properties, computer name, select change, if this is pc is a dc, you will get a mesage about not doing this. then select more and make sure your dns suffix is correct ie domain.com, this will need a reboot also ensure in you tcpip settings the DNS server is pointing to the correct server.

But, DNS is not working the way it should (nslookup responds with a "can't find server name for address..." message). All pc's can see each other and the internet, forward lookup zone is set to AD-integrated, dynamic updates, and reverse lookup zone is set to standard-primary, dynamic updates. The domain name is 'domain.com', the NetBIOS name is 'domain', and the pc name is 'newserver.domain' I feel it will cause problems, as we are set to install Exchange 2000 soon, and if it can't find a DNS server, it will error. Any advice or resources? We received no errors during setup, which makes it even more puzzling...
