I have a new client who had a Win 2000 server set up years ago and it was
set up with a "single label" domain having no domain suffix, a "dot" domain,
and DNS pointing to the ISP's DNS servers. I ran into one of these YEARS ago
and found a script that corrected the single label domain issue. I then
fixed the rest of it. At least, I think that is how it went...MANY moons
ago.
For the life of me (I've been Googling for hours), I cannot find an article
on how to FIX a single label domain. There are a ton of articles regarding
doing workarounds to clients, but that is not my goal. I want to fix it so
that AD works properly. I thought it had something to do with changing a
registry setting and then running a VB script, possibly the one listed here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257623.
This is a single server domain, just Windows 2000 Server Standard without
Exchange. After I fix it, I will add a Windows 2008 R2 server.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Basically you cannot really fix it without renaming the domain, which isn't
possible within windows server 2000. So i would think about using ADMT to
migrate to Windows server 2008 with the correct name, that way it will be
safe for the future.

That is one of the articles to which I was referring when I mentioned that
they say how to make a client workaround.
I am going back today to make sure it is not just a DNS problem. When I look
at the computer properties on the Network Identification tab, it shows the
"Full computer name" as
rkserver.rknet1.
where it should be
rkserver.rknet1.local or some other suffix.
In this case, there is NO suffix.
An ipconfig /all shows
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : rknet1
without a suffix. Because it is a domain controller, I cannot get to the
normal spot to change the DNS suffix, i.e., the "Change primary DNS suffix
when domain membership changes" check box, but it can be done in the
registry (at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\NV
Domain), which I believe is what I did many years ago on another botched Win
2000 setup.
Ultimately, I want to add a Windows Server 2008 R2 server and make it the
DC, move all data, and then format and make the Win 2000 a terminal server
(as a member server). They also want to get 14 new Windows 7 workstations,
but not all at once, so I have to keep the old Windows 2000 Pro workstations
on line.
At first, I thought I could create a whole new properly-configured domain on
the 2008 server, create a trust between the two, and be on my way. However,
the botched DNS and the (possible) single label domain name are preventing
the trust. Running dcdiag and netdiag have them throwing up all over
themselves, due at least to the "dot" domain and the DNS pointing to their
ISP's DNS servers. Dumping the "dot" domain and fixing the DNS to point to
itself is no big deal and I will do that today, but I need to get the domain
to show a suffix in DNS, too. This problem MAY just be that DNS is screwed
up and not showing the suffix. I have to take a closer look today.

I have never heard about fixing the single label domain name problem with
a registry key for the DC/domain itself. Maybe you are mixing the disjoint
namespace problem with this? That can be solved with a change in the registry
keys.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998420(EXCHG.80).aspx
The only way i know is domain renaming and following the article i already
posted for the domain members.
The trust can only be created if the domain names are different, is that
the case? Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from both DCs so we can also
check this ones.

In ADUC, instead of showing a domain with a suffix, such as rknet1.lan, it
only
shows "rknet1" as the domain name. Same thing for AD Domains and Trusts.
There are DNS resolution issues still, as I can ping by NetBIOS name from
the
old "rkserver1" to the new server's "dc01" name or by IP, but not by the new
server's FQDN of dc01.office.lan.
It is an AD integrated server, but the server name is listed as on the SOA
and Name Servers tabs as "rkserver1.rknet1." instead of having an FQDN such
as
"rkserver1.rknet1.lan" for the name. It's missing the domain suffix.
I am setting up LogMeIn Rescue so I can work remotely...it's time for lunch
and play
with wife time!
I will look at fixing the missing DNS suffix and hope that it will work in
spite of being a single label domain. I have a few articles that show how to
do it.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888048
This one may have something to do with it as well:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257623
Once I get the name resolution, I'll try to set up a trust. If that fails,
I'll
be forced to punt!

I now need to research to see if I can create a trust between the two

off of the old domain, join the new domain, demote the Win 2000 to a
stand-alone, and then join it to the 2008 domain as a member server so that
they can still use some law apps that are not yet 64-bit compatible.

I was just confused from your description.
Using the ip address of the ISPs DNS server on the NIC, especially on a DC
will create problems. You should always use only the domain DNS server on
the NIC and configure the FORWARDERS on the DNS server properties in the
DNS management console. To configure the Forwarders the root (.) has to be
deleted first in the DNS management console, as you stated in your postings
also.
As you mentioned SBS versions in your postings, hopefully the Windows server
2000 or Windows server 2008 are NOT SBS versions. A SBS server isn't able
to create a trust to another forest/domain, one of it's limitations.
To create a trust between the normal versions make sure there is no firewall
activated, default on Windows server 2008. Also see this article, if you
scroll down Windows server 2000 is also mentioned:

>>>>> er s\ NV Domain), which I believe is what I did many years ago on
I'm trying to read through all the posts in this thread and get caught up.
Meinolf did provide that one KB that explains what you can do with a single
label domain name. However, what I would like to add, if the Primary DNS
Suffix is incorrect, meaning it doesn't match the actual AD DNS domain name,
a script exists that will correct the Primary DNS Suffix on a domain
controller. So if the two do not match, this scenario is called a
'disjointed namespace' scenario. The script was created by Dean Wells many
years ago to correct this, and is now part of Microsoft Technet. However,
what it does do is sets the Primary DNS Suffix based on what it reads out of
Active Directory. If AD's DNS domain name is single label, then the script
won't help. You can view AD's DNS domain name by opening Active Directory
Users and Computers. At the top left in the nav pane, it shows the AD domain
name. Is that single label?
Surprised that you were able to create a trust to an SBS domain.

Just one thing to add here regarding the use of forwarders that Meinolf
mentioned. If your DNS has a dot at the top of the tree (as mentioned
somewhere here), you have to delete the dot before you can enable
forwarders. With the dot at the top, the local DNS thinks it is the end of
the universe and won't forward.
Yes, I knew it had the root zone "dot" domain and the ISP's DNS servers,
both of which should not be done, and both of which I have seen a few times
before. Due to the dot domain, it had no root hint servers (grayed out and
empty), forwarders were grayed out and empty, etc. I'll bet that is why the
guy put in the ISP's DNS servers...in order to get Internet access...rather
than fix the real problem. These people have had this network for eight
years and have been complaining about it, but the in-house IT guy was not
getting it handled, so one of their people finally got me in the door after
a year of trying (the in-house IT guy is a friend of the owner).
Their in-house IT guy argued with me that the server was set up by a guy
"with 20 years experience who really knows his stuff" and works at the local
college it IT, so "trust me, he knows what he is doing." That was a fun
conversation! Anyway, those were the first things that I corrected. As
mentioned earlier, this server was set up by an old-school NT guy, and I
have seen several with the same DNS errors when done by the guys who did not
read up on AD and just installed as though it were still NT 4. I started in
NT 4 as well, but when AD came out, I read until my brain bled before
installing my first AD server! Now I need to get my hands on their router
password to turn off DHCP and move it to the server.
The other item, as mentioned before, is that it is indeed a single label
domain as it shows in ADUC, AD Domains and Trusts, and in DNS, also a common
problem I have seen when done by more experienced NT techs. Unfortunately,
there is nothing I can do about it. Fortunately, the old server is plain
2000 and the new server is Server 2008 and not SBS 2008, so the trust was
set up successfully when done from the 2008 server (would not work from 2000
server, even with firewall off...could not contact the domain), or so the
wizard stated. I need to go on site tomorrow to confirm it works. I
**thought** I had read that a single label domain would prevent creating a
trust, which turns out not to be true, at least not with 2008. Of course, I
do a lot of my reading at 3:00AM, so that may be a factor!
I have seen that script to correct the registry, and used it or a similar
one years ago to correct a botched DNS. That one was not a single label
domain, but I did not remember that until a few days ago. I was remembering
using it to correct the single label problem, but that was not true; it
merely corrected the DNS suffix problem. Just for giggles, I ran it anyway,
but it made no changes, as it doesn't fix the single label issue.
I am not going to mess with workstations, as they are all being replaced
soon. Some of them have the ISP's DNS servers, some have static addresses
with the AD server's DNS...a real cluster f....!
The mention of SBS versions was just a note of where I had seen the problem
before. There is no SBS in this domain...yet.
Thank you for all of your suggestions!

Someone having 20 years of the *correct* experience would have done it
properly. The dot zone appeared in Windows 2000 when DCPROMO was run while
the machine did not have internet access. For some reason with Windows 2000
dcpromo, it was set by default to do that. As we all know, a simple deletion
takes care of it. Similar to Windows 2003 dcpromo where it automatically
puts in the loopback for DNS, where a simple deletion and entering its own
IP can take care of that.
Domain trusts, are NTLM based, whereas Forest trusts are DNS based, hence
why it works with single label name domains. And here I thought you got a
trust to work with SBS until I just read it wasn't SBS!! :-)
Those peeves regarding "it" and versions of "you" are commonplace. I'm

Peeve #2: Your vs. You're
"Your" means belonging to you, as in, "It's your truck."
"You're" means "You are." Example, you're probably about ready to throttle
me for this peeve!

First of all, what does a peeve look like, and why would anyone want one as
a pet?
Peeve #1: Apostrophes: when in doubt, leave them out! You will be correct
more often than not.
Its = Belonging to it. For example, "Look at the sky. Its color is blue."
It's = It is. For example, "It's hot today."

I didn't think you were. I do that, too. As for the cross-domain group adds, that's all manual, but I think you already knew that. :)

I meant that I have not done a "trust" in nine years...and "forgot"
everything needed.

Oh, ok. After doing a trust, and it's expected that both sides will be accessing various resources on the other side, including administration, the mindset is to usually add domain1's Domain Administrators group to domain2's domain local Administrators group, and domain1's Domain Users to domain2's domain local Users group, and vice versa.
I hope that helps. :-)

Domain based trusts do not use DNS, so the single lable name wouldn't be the problem. It could be WINS is not setup properly between the two sides? Did you click on Validate trusts to insure the trusts are actually communicating?

I'm not worried about it, because I really only need it to work for 2008
domain members to get to the 2000 domain until it goes away.

Ok, no problem, then. But I would be curious to get that working, you know, more out of a curiosity as to why it's not working in one direction. But if you don't need it, that's cool, too.
