NT networks typically will use NetBIOS over TCP/IP for name resolution, i.e. WINS before DNS. That article refers to host name resolution (Hosts, DNS etc... before WINS) which *Outlook* as well as other applications will use to resolve.

WINS is correct and a conflicting DNS entry is there? Why does DNS take precedence on an NT4 domain? I thought that was a 2K thing??? (I am sending this to the NT list so stop barking) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Carpenter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "MS-Exchange Admin Issues" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 12:21 PM Subject: Re: Note on moving Exch 5.5 Well I found something. There was still a DNS entry for the old IP address. I originally intended to make it separate and make it mail2 or something similar in DNS. I removed the entry and it has cleared most of my problems. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Carpenter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "MS-Exchange Admin Issues" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 10:58 AM Subject: Note on moving Exch 5.5 As we have been discussing, I moved my mail server this past weekend. A note on a blip I experienced: I changed the internal IP on the new server to match the old server's IP (I gave the old one a completely different IP) after moving mailboxes so that I would not have to mess with router settings and such for the NAT. It worked fine, because the DNS was still correct, mail came through, etc. On Monday, when people started Outlook and it looked for the new mail server, some users had issues with the new IP. They were trying to resolve to the old IP. I blew out WINS and it still looked for the old POC. A well meaning coworker added an LMHOSTS entry for the server (GOD NOOOOOOOOOO). Bad form, but it worked at that moment, which is all users seem to care about. I plan to go back and fix this issue when things settle down. I just wanted to bring this up for posterity's sake. *wink List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- The information contained in this email message is privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
