workstations registering in the root domain

[Guest]

What are the best practices if I don't want my workstations to register with
DDNS in the root domain company.com but in a subdomain or zone
site.company.com?

In the System control panel on the Computer name tab in XP and Network
Identification tab in Win2k, you can change the Primary DNS suffix.
If you want the Workstations to register in both zones add the second domain
name to the DNS tab in TCP/IP properties. You can also set this connection
DNS suffix in DHCP option 015.

Do you think it would be better to reverse that?

Put the real domain name (of the machine) in the
System control panel, and the "other domain" in
the NIC-> properties?

Absolutely.
