name resolution for non-domain remote computers

[RJ]

I have one AD domain with two subnets, one local and one
in a remote office across a WAN link. Each LAN has its
own DHCP server. I have machines that are in their own
workgroups in both LANs. All machines use DHCP for their
IP addressing. I am able to resolve a machine in a
workgroup locally from another domain member machine. I
am unable to resolve a machine in another workgroup on the
remote subnet by name. I have the same issue with remote
clients on the VPN. How can I have the machines update
their data in the default domain name zone.

What about the 2 DHCP servers transmitting data back and
forth for name resolution?

Thanks,
RJ

Add the DNS doamin name of your AD domain to the "DNS suffix for this
connection" field on the DNS tab.
Or let DHCP do it by defining option 015 DNS domain name and using option
081 on the properties of the DHCP server on the DNS tab. use option "always
update DNS"

Just to add, make sure the machine account DHCP is running on is a member of
the DnsUpdateProxy Group.
