I am using samba/winbind (or whatever Yast sets up when you join a Windows AD) to resolve names in the AD. Everywhere (web pages, links, e-mails) the computer name is used without the domain part. So, dns queries fail. Am I missing a setting that can request that a domain name be tacked on to a query?
In /etc/resolv.conf it "search <domain> ..."
This is the mysterious part. If I get an IP address via dhcp for the machine, this is added to my /etc/resolv.conf file: search zen7.sto.ost.ramse.ramboll-group.global.network But, in fact, the domain is ramse.ramboll-group.global.network So if I look up computerX, it is not resolved. If I look up computerX.ramse.ramboll-group.global.network it is. I cannot look up computerX.zen7.sto.ost.ramse.ramboll-group.global.network. Perhaps since all the other 8000+ people in this company are running XP and probably using WINS, I am the only one with this issue? I modified the /etc/resolv.conf to have search ramse.ramboll-group.global.network instead. And all is well. Time to have a chat with IT.
