Hi

Now, Our Windows 2003 Server computer names is
vessel_data, When i try to configure Active Directory
then it shows message the following message,
---------------------------------------------------------
"The name of this computer, vessel_data, does not conform
to Internet Domain Name Service specifications because it
contains extended characters and/or underscores."

If you choose to keep this computer name, you must use a
Microsoft DNS server in order for other computer to
locate this computer.

To keep this name and continue with the Wizard, click
Continue.

To Cancel the Wizard and rename this computer, Click
Rename."
----------------------------------------------------------
My question is,

1) If i click continue with same computer name, it will
create any connectivity problem for other comput to
locate this Server.?

2) If i chagne the computer name as Vessel, it will
create any connectivity problem for Oracle Database
(Since I'm using Oracle Database on that Server)?

Please advice to me, I need to install DC with AD on this
Windows 2003 Server..thx.\

Thanks and Regards,
S RAMESH

The problem is not in the characters in the name
(which You should change to for example "-", but You sould avoid single
label domain name.


Use some name with DNS suffix like for example vessel-data.local. Single
label domains causes a lot of problems in AD environment

2) If i chagne the computer name as Vessel, it will
create any connectivity problem for Oracle Database
(Since I'm using Oracle Database on that Server)?

I don't know much about Oracle so I can't tell You - but to change
domain name You don't have to change computer name.
The problem in fact may be in the permissions of the local accounts on
which Oracle server is running on this server after promoting it to DC
 
Thank You Very Much.!

So, I can continue my installation for windows 2003 server
as Domain Controller without change computer Name..Is it
right?..

that's OK

Login: administrator

Domain : vessel
Click to expand...
If You choose vessel as Your NetBIOS domain name it will be look like
this, the default NetBIOS domain name proposed by the wizard will be
"vesseldata" and if you don't change it, this name will be visible in
logon box

I always if it is possible use FQDN so I preffer to use vesseldata.local
when specifing domain name for client to join

If i install again my original Server, can i give my
domain name as, "3itech.local" (because my company name
as 3i technologies pte ltd)
Click to expand...
of course You can - but what You mean in "If i install again my
original" - are You now working on some disaster issue or are You
reinstalling DC for your current domain
 
Thanks,

Actually I have installed and configured the Domain in
our TEST SERVER. Make sure, everything is ok, then I will
go to our Original Server..that I mean.

is it possible to give my Domain Name as "3itech.com" ?

Can You confirm please...sorry I'm new in Windows 2003
Server deploying..thats why I asking more
question..please understand.

thanks Ramesh
 
I always try to avoid underscores in machine names. I can't recall
specifics, but we ran into a situation a year ago where a particular program
couldn't see a client machine until I got rid of the underscores. I stick
with letters and numbers and have not seen any problems.

Yes You can - but If You use it and 3itech.com is not Your domain Your
users will have a problem with resolving this domain hosts. If it is
Your domian You will have to maintein "split brain" DNS structur in
which You will have one DNS server for LAN and secend for Internet -
both servin 3itech.com domain names but for different users (LAN and
Internet) and different data (You don't want serve Your doman data to
the Internet users)

How do You confgiure DNS server on Your clients? It should point to Your
DC IP address.

Check on Your DC is it DNS server working properly.
