A client has two Windows 2003 servers in the same AD domain but on different sites (joined with an IPSec VPN)<br />
<br />
both are configured as DNS servers<br />
We just replaced one of the Cisco ASA 5505 routers with one from another brand<br />
<br />
Everything works fine except name resolution for netbios names belonging to the remote site<br />
When I ping machine1 the host isn't known<br />
When I ping machine2.domain.local I get a response<br />
<br />
The &quot;Use Netbios over TCP/IP&quot; is selected on both servers and on the workstation<br />
What is going on ?<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

Netbios name resolution

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).

Windows Server 2003

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
