domain without a dot anything

[Yancey B. Jones]

I have just recently seen a Windows 2000 AD domain controller set up with a
domain name similiar to the way NT named them - with just a DOMAIN with no
..local or .com or dot anything. The DNS server was missing all the SVR
records and restarting netlogon did not recreate them, I could not join a
machine to the domain because of the missing SVR records (according to the
error message anyway). Would having the domain named this way cause any
issues with Windows 2000 DNS?

Thanks,
Yancey
