We have 7 pc's (mix of 98 and XP) on a lan. We are currently running as a large workgroup and want to move to Win2K Server, our isp hosts our email and our domainname,
lets call it ' we use MDaemon Email server which gets all the email from our isp and delivers it to the Outlook clients - so far so good.
Setting up Win2K server as a domain controller /active directory - what name do we give it - can it be the same as our existing domain name (' If so how do we setup the DNS and still ensure that the server knows to get the email from the isp.
We also have an ADSL router which is the DHCP server - (this cannot be disabled as it is controlled by our friendly local telecomms company!) Therefore the Win2k Server sees the DHCP router as another server. All our client stations go directly to the ADSL Router for internet (web) access.
I really would like any one's opinion/advice on how best to approach this from a DNS point of view to start with.
Thanks in advance
