No .com in DNS name

[Nick]

Ok I just took over as the network admin of a small
company... The previous IT guy helped configure the AD
structure.... Well the guy didnt think it would be
smart to put a .com or .org after the domain name while
configuring AD.. anyways now or domain is
ex. "TTIexec."
not "TTIexec.com"

First off is there any way to undue the damage without
killin AD (by the way our DNS is on the root controller)
Also this scenario will make it so DNS does not do its
proper job; right?
