Win XP - DNS problems

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.dns (More info?)

I have recently been having problems with my XP machines joing my new domain.
After some research I found that the problem was DNS. My DHCP server was
pushing four DNS servers to the client...2 of these were AD servers and 2
were NT 4 servers. I finally found a random article saying to only push one
AD DNS server to the XP clients...I did this and it fixed the problem. Does
anyone know of a Microsoft KB article that discusses this issue? Thanks for
your help.

Do not use any DNS server that does not support the AD domain, if you only
have one that supports the AD domain use it only, if you have more you can
use them.

You should pass at least two DNS servers to all clients. If you pass more
than this it's not an issue.

Your issue was more likely that the NT4 DNS server didn't have the SRV
records for the DCs.
