Thanks again Kevin,
When I ping a host in the other domain, it comes nack with unkown host. Is
there a way to add a dns suffix en mass? If I modify the dns suffixes, can
this cause any issues? I'd ideally like all clients using one dns server
that can contact both domains to resolve names as we are practicing a domain
migration.
Thanks again for your help
