Dns issue
Hi,
I have 2 domain in 2 different locations
When i ping a machine
Ping machine name (I am not able to ping)
When i ping with the full FQDN i am able to ping
What would be the problem.
That machine is present in a different domain and different ip range but of the same company.

Hi Sharath,
If you can ping by IP and FQDN then you are just missing a DNS Suffix from the Search List on the client.
Without this configured it will only Search for names within it's Primary DNS Suffix.
There are a number of ways to add this in. If you want to do it manually you can add it to the DNS Tab under Advanced settings for TCP/IP. It will be the box under "Append these DNS Suffixes in order".
It can also be configured in Group Policy (which is possibly the most useful option):
Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Network \ DNS Client
DNS Suffix Search List
