Domain Name System Suffix Does Not Match Domain Name

[Joe]

Hi.

Got this problem:Domain Name System Suffix Does Not Match
Domain Name.(server IS NOT A DC, so, Microsoft Knowledge
Base Article - 257623 does not apply in this case, i
think):

I was having problems with the server and after do a
research i found that the "primary DNS suffix of this
computer" was not the same DNS Domain Name (somebody
changed by mistake, i don't know). I changed back, but
after reboot, the FQDN is still wrong. Let's say:

Old or Bad Primary DNS suffix: wrong.com
New/correct Suffix: right.com (after made the change)

But in Network Identification, full computer name is:
server.wrong.com ...it should be .... server.right.com

Any ideas? TC/IP DNS Setting are ok. I mean, suffixes and
DNS IP addresses.

It is basically the same issue with the same solution, the script will give you
trouble though.

Simply clear the reg entry

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\NV Domain

And set

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\SyncDomainWithMembership

equal to 1. If it doesn't exist, it should be a reg_dword.

I will keep a backup of your answer, altought i was able
to fix the problem simply changing from registry old
references to the new one.
