Probably because it's a secondary server.  Check to see if that IP is hosting a secondary copy of the zone.

What I actually did was nslookup domain.com…I just found out that one of the computer is a linux server that is managing a child domain child.domain.com…that is the reason is showing up there.

 

 

Anyway, I am also getting an ip address for a windows server machine that is not a DC, don’t know why…

You mean, you did the following:

 

nslookup <Enter>

set q=a<Enter>

domain.com<Enter>

 

and the IP you got is for a user's desktop?

 

If so, one reason could be because someone created an A record in DNS for domain.com and mapped it to the desktop's IP. Maybe because the desktop is running web service and hosting the domain.com web site.

 

Is this what you meant? If so, you will need to go and delete the record. You will then need to tell your users that they will not be able to get to the domain.com website site any longer because that is your AD domain name. You could create another A record named (for example) WWW under the domain.com zone and give it the desktop's IP and tell your users that they should now use http://www.domain.com/ to get to that website instead of domain.com

 

This is a fairly common misconfiguration. And it's a big problem for your clients and DCs.

Thanks, but after reading all that I still was not able to find out what kind of information do you get when you do lookup domain.com, being domain.com your AD domain, and why am I getting a user’s computer.

 

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

 

When I do a nslookup domain.com, being domain.com my AD domain, what should I see? A list of the dns server in my domain? A list of the DC?

 

The fact is that I am doing nslookup and I am getting, domain controllers but also a user’s computer!!!!

 

Thanks
