Turns out they're changing the primary DNS domain, too.

*sigh*

We're eventually doing to have to change our primary DNS domains around
here so I'm trying to keep away from using FQDN so I don't have to go
back and update every client later.  

I have to talk with their manager about adding the old domain to the DNS
search.

Thanks all.

It's the network that is smoking.

I have a bunch in different domains.

Two things you can do.

1 ) have the dns person setup and "true" alias for the server with the
normal domain

Example of a nslookup on myserver
Name:    myserver.newdomain.com
Address:  10.x.xxx.xx
Aliases:  myserver.corporate.normaldomain.com

2) add the server to netbackup with the FQDN , you may also have to set
it to use vnetd

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Changing the NT Domain on clients

I've got a buncha NT clients that are starting to move from one NT
Domain to another.  One of the ones that went yesterday can't be backed
up today, I'm getting error 59's on it.

>From what I can see, the client shouldn't be domain aware, right?  It's
a service, installed by the administrator (and therefore running with
admin perms, right?) and as long as basic network stuff works, the
Domain doesn't matter.

Is this right or am I smokin' something here?
