NT Member Server DNS Settings

[mapman04]

I'm adding a NT Member Server into a native 2K3 domain. What should the domain name be in the NT DNS Settings. On the 2K3 DNS server the FQDN is server.corporate.local. I'm assuming domain for the NT server should be corporate.local and that I should also add corporate.local in the Domain Suffix Search Order. Is this correct?

Thanks,

Correct. Domain search order is not necessarily needed if there is only one domain.

NT4 will, by the way, not add itself to DNS. You need to do this manually or use DHCP with a reservation and have DHCP update the A and PTR records in DNS.
