At my work where I am a network administrator I can not get \\(domain name) to open the shares on the primary domain controller. We are installing some third party software that integrates with AD and requires this to work.
I believe the reason this doesn't work is because our primary DNS servers our BIND 8 Unix Servers.
Problem Summary:
\\FQDN does not open \\PDC.FQDN
My first attempt to fix the problem was a CNAME that points FQDN to pdc.FQDN. This did not help the problem, but it did create additional issues by redirecting our MX record to the PDC.
------- Notes / Details -----------
Domain: Native Mode 2003 Domain, with three domain controllers.
PDC: Windows 2003 Standard domain controller
DNS: AIX running BIND 8
