The annoying SBSer says ... I see no issues mapping drives to a DC ..why
do you need an alternate name? :-)

We have DC’s running in small branch offices. These machines have
multiple roles running, such as file server, SMS server and also DC.
Because of very small links with the central site, a local DC was
necessary.

Let's start with the first part:
Why do you want to allow somebody to map a drive to a DC? What are you
trying to accomplish for the final solution?

I want to add an alternate name for a Windows 2003 domain controller.
This is possible using the NETDOM command line tool. Then registering
the name in DNS using "IPCONFIG /registerdns" and finally registering
it in WINS using "NBTSTAT –RR". So far so good.
However when I try to map a network drive using this alternate name I
get a "duplicate name on the network" error message. So my question
here, is it possible to add an alternate name for a Windows 2003
domain controller and use it for mapping drives?
Some specs:
- Domain functional level: Windows Server 2003
- Windows 2003 sp0 and sp1 (tried both and no difference)
- It is working when adding a name for a Windows 2003 member server !!!
Kind Regards,
Helmuth
