Question by durangobrent: Is the “Default-First-Site-Name” necessary on a Windows 2003 Server domain?
When building a 2003 Server domain, it adds a Default First site name domain along side the domain that i have created. Is this needed, can it be removed? Sometimes it generates errors that point to this location.

No that can not be removed, you have to create another file in order to do so…

Question by Trevor J: Exchange 2003, Small Business Server 2003 Domain Name?
How do I register my domain name so my email will be transferred to my exchange server?

Answer by Jeremie I
The MX records of the domain tell which server IP to send the e-mail to.
It is a bit complex, but you need to register your domain name with a registar and then edit the MX records to reflect the external IP address assigned to the mail service.

Question by Jsjjharp: Is there a way to have a dns server running server 2003 resolve an ip address to an external domain name?
I am running a unix based corprate program in my office that gathers data from our remote locations that is run by a 3rd party distributor. Right now the program dials out to the remote locations using a dial up modem, but the software has the ability to do it through tcp/ip on a telnet connection. The problem is, the connectio applet for data collection is propritary and i have no way to modify it and it cannot resolve domain names, only ip addresses. The DNS server that this unix box is pointed at is running server 2003 and i was wondering if it is possible to “spoof” and ip address in the DNS server so rather than having the Unix machine be responsible for resolving the name, the DNS server translates a fake local IP address to a domian name.. Example: If i type into a terminal emulator “connect to 100.100.100.10 on prot 23″ is there a way that when that request hits the DNS server it redirects the request to www.yahoo.com on port 23
Both of these answers are going in the wrong direction, i need the dns derver to resolve an address to a name not a name to an address,, i know how to do that

Yes there is a way.. if you have access to a dns server that the software uses to resolve then it would be VERY easy.. Personally.. I wouldnt do 10.10.10.10 to yahoo.com… I would to 10.10.10.10 to destination IP.

Question by Roland: Wonder if a Domain name for Windows Server 2003 is free?
Can it be free? Or it needs to be register?

Answer by cyberdoc
The domain name you give on your server (that is your computer) can be given by you – myserver, mydog or mysite. You don’t need to register it. But if you set that as a public site to be used as domain address as a webserver, you need to register that name with a registrar.

Question by Roland: Does a Windows Server 2003 Domain name needs to be register?
Does it cost something? Or can it be set for free?

Answer by lwcomputing
No, you can use any name you want. However, you should use something ending in registered top level domain – meaning DON’T use .com, .net, .info, .biz, .org, etc. Instead, I suggest using .LCL or similar – a .something-that-doesn’t-exist
