We have 3 domains in our AD forest. The parent and 2 child domains. Currently the parent domain has the root DNS server in it. All domains and machines on the domains point to this server. In the DNS console you can see all the domains, they show up automatically when they joined the forest.
When pinging from within child domainA to a computer in child domainB
ping name
I get ping request could not find host (name). please check the name and try again.
But when I add the full DNS suffix
ping name.domainB.partent.com
it resolves fine.
Why do I need to add DNS suffixes in a full AD environment? Shouldn't the DNS server resolve this for me? This is where I am confused.
Thanks
