If you use nslookup to try to resolve the CNAME record, what response do you get? Is it &quot;Non-existent domain&quot; or something else?

If you use nslookup to try to resolve the CNAME record, what response do you get? Is it "Non-existent domain" or something else?

Thanks for the reply. &nbsp;Yes, &quot;non-existent domain. &nbsp; However, if I append the suffix of domain B, it resolves. &nbsp;Do I need to add the DNS server address of domain B to the TCP/IP v4 properties, or add/append Domain B's primary suffix &quot;in order&quot; or &quot;connection-specific&quot;? &nbsp; I hope I explained that well.

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, "non-existent domain.   However, if I append the suffix of domain B, it resolves.  Do I need to add the DNS server address of domain B to the TCP/IP v4 properties, or add/append Domain B's primary suffix "in order" or "connection-specific"?   I hope I explained that well.

Sorry, i'm a little confused. Does the CNAME record exist in the forward lookup zone for domain A or B?

Hi,<br />
<br />
We have two domains - A and B, let's say. &nbsp; The print server is in domain A and the printer is in B. (in DNS) &nbsp; <br />
<br />
I can't resolve the CNAME of the printer from the print server in domain A. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I thought that with Conditional Forwarding enabled and defined in Domain A, that it should be able to resolve the printer in domain B? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
We can only setup the printer by IP address, but prefer CNAME resolution between the two domains.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

How to resolve a CNAME for printer that's in a different domain?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

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.
