David installs a new client-server application on S1, which is not a member of the single Active Directory domain. S1 has the static IP address 192.168.4.65. He installs the client software on two Windows XP Professional domain computers. The client software must be able to resolve to S1 using the fully qualified domain name, Globe.com.
S2 is the DNS server and has the IP address 192.168.4.16. When David pings 192.168.4.65, he receives valid replies. When he attempts to run the client software on the two test computers, the software cannot locate S1 and terminates. Which of the following should David do to fix the problem?
A)Enter a host (A) record for S1 on S2. This record displays S1's IP address as 192.168.4.65. In the Computer Name Changes dialog box in System Properties on S1, enter Globe.com as the primary DNS suffix of the computer and restart S1.
B)Type S1.Globe.com 192.168.4.65 #pre in the following line in the Hosts file on each of the two test computers.
C)Create an organizational unit named ApplicationServersOU, and create a computer account named S1 in ApplicationServersOU. Set the Primary DNS Suffix Group Policy setting on an ApplicationServersOU Group Policy Object to Globe.com and restart S1.

To fix the problem, David should enter a host (A) record for S1 on S2. This record displays S1's IP address as 192.168.4.65. In the Computer Name Changes dialog box in System Properties on S1, enter Globe.com as the primary DNS suffix of the computer and restart S1.
Key Takeaway: The Primary DNS suffix specifies the DNS suffix to be appended to the name of a computer when completing its fully qualified domain name. To configure the primary DNS suffix for a computer, right-click My Computer and then select Properties. Click the Computer Name tab. Click Change, and then click More. In DNS Suffix and NetBIOS Computer Name, type your domain name. After applying these changes, restart the computer to initialize it with its new DNS domain name.
