install dns without internet domain

[micky500970]

Hi,

I am using the AD wizard on a win2k server and during the DNS set-up it is asking me for a fully qualified domain name. The domain is called matrix. As I do no own matrix.com what do i type here, matrix.local maybe?

I do not have any Internet domain name.

Out of interest, do i need to install DNS? - i will have 14 workstaions on the matrix domain.

Cheers

Mick

Yes, install DNS. AD will not work well without it. As far as domain naming, as long as your domain will be private, call it whatever you want.
