We have a DHCP server and I'm not sure yet if I want to use the NETBIOS name as a hostname but I'd like to be open to both that and something like host125-host174 to cover 192.168.46.125-174 (our DHCP pool). > > I don't need to receive updates from the AD DNS but that would be a cool option to have. I just need to have my DNS server's details be sent to the AD DNS for resolution purposes without having to manually update the DNS. Set up a forward zone for office.domain.local on your AD DNS server. Then all machines then use the 2008 AD server as their DNS. Brian
