cname entry for DC? Bentley 6/4/2007 7:01:02 PM W2k3 sp1 domain. Can I make a cname entry for a DC without screwing up my entire DNS and domain environment? This involves cluster nodes that are geographically separated and the creation of a 'File share witness'. The only server at the remote site available to be the FSW is a DC and a DNS server. Thanks

Yes. But you are not clear about what the CNAME is for. Take for example all DCs already create CNAME records for their <GUID>._msdcs.forestroot record. -- Best regards, Kevin D.
