Hi All,
We are in the process of migrating machines from one domain to another. There is a two way trust relationship between both domains. Last week was the beginning of the Pilot migration and we successfully migrated 12 users across with very little issue using the Quest tool.
Yesterday we created a GPO to Append DNS suffixes for both domains due to erratic DNS issues. We set the Primary to the Target Domain and Secondary to the legacy domain. When the migrated users in the Target domain logged in this a.m. they could not get onto the local I.E. page. The error was "Page not found".
The hosting server is on the legacy domain and users have had no problem before the GPO was applied. I am confused by this and don't know where to turn or troubleshoot.
So I guess my questions are.
What exactly does the DNS suffixes do? I am guessing it tells the local client to look at the DNS Target server first then if it cant find what it wants should go to the Legacy DNS server?
Any information on how I could troubleshoot this issue would be greatly received.
Regards.
