when I go to add a user to Administrators group then on that window the location shows the localhost name(computer1), then I click browse and all I see is XYZ.com, I do not see the abc.com at all.<br />
I see the MST.corp too...but no abc.com which is weird...since the computer I remoted to through RDP &nbsp;has a name space computer1.abc.com

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have some computers that when I log into them their domain look different than what it shows…<br />
I had a request to add a user to local administrator in windows servers that are members of domain &nbsp;abc.com<br />
so, through RDP I type computer1.abc.com then I log into the computer, when I go to add a user to Administrators group then on that window the location shows the localhost name, then I click browse and all I see is XYZ.com, I do not see the abc.com at all.<br />
<br />
I am not sure why this is happening?<br />

Checking DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
