I have been of the same opinion.
But with the new domains, I cannot install
across the domains, so I have to do some special stuff to get the netbackup
files up on the domain to upgrade those servers.
This is where I am having the issue, so
when I do the upgrade I need to be able to say these 4 servers are on a
different domain and know that I have to do special steps.

on client names
The need to use FQDNs is, imho, a sign that you don’t
trust your DNS. FQDNs are a PITA if you ask me and I would rather take
the time to make something as mission critical as DNS work right instead of
hiding the real problem. To each his own, I’ve been on contracts
before where the problem was systemic and that was the only way to get backups
working without significant changes in procedures across the company but if
your admins and network guys are doing their job you shouldn’t have to.
I guess my comment is just that ‘you shouldn’t
have to use FQDN’s’ and if you don’t have to I
wouldn’t. To each his own.

Always, always use
FQDNs. Short names are simply evil.
