Hmm, I let it sit a while and now it's working. Did the new record just have to propogate through the internet or something? I opened a browser on the server itself and went to '<a href="http://mywebsite.com'" rel="ugc">http://mywebsite.com'</a> and it didn't resolve... now it does. <br />
<br />
Just curious why the delay.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
In 2003 server I &nbsp;added a Alias(CNAME) record like<br />
<br />
&nbsp;'(same as parent folder) &nbsp;.... Alias ( CNAME) .... ns1.mywebsite.com'<br />
<br />
When I went to &quot;<a href="http://mywebsite.com" rel="ugc">http://mywebsite.com</a>&quot;&nbsp;it resolved and pulled it up.<br />
<br />
I then went in and deleted that record and changed it to an Host(A) record.<br />
<br />
'(same as parent folder) .... Host(A) .... 123.456.789.1'<br />
<br />
But now it doesn't resolve. I've reloaded the zone and all that stuff.<br />
<br />
What am I doing wrong?<br />

DNS Issue with the '@' record.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
