I have 3 offfices on the same domain. I have a few internal websites that can not open the website if they use the <a href="http://servername" rel="ugc">http://servername</a>&nbsp;but it does work if they use <a href="http://servername.domian" rel="ugc">http://servername.domian</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; This only happens in 1 of the 3 offices. I have rebooted the servers in this office as well as the FSMO role holder for the domain &amp;&nbsp;I've checked DNS to make sure there is a forward record in there for these websites &amp;&nbsp;there is. All of the clients are Windows 7 clients. In the same site that is having the issues, I can access the <a href="http://servername" rel="ugc">http://servername</a>&nbsp;fro mthe DNS server but the clients can't that point o this DNS server...<br />

How can I troubleshoot this? What's going on?
