Hi, I have joined a new company in which the environment is Windows server 2003. They had migrated from Windows NT to 2003. The confusion I have is, their previous domain name (before the upgrade was JSRM01)but after the upgrade to Windows 2003 they have changed the domain name to XXX.com but still when the users log in they log in to the JSRM01 domain. When I checked the DNS it has all ip lists in XXX.com. So can you please tell is this an usual behavior? If yes/no please explain ASAP!!!!!!

Could be ununsual and could not be depending on what the concept of the upgrade.

Does the company have an external web presence and didn't want to use their external namespace also inside the company as a security measure to prevent someone from accidentally setting up a web server that exposes the internal network to the external?

Did the company have someone that simply didn't know what they were doing and chose some whacked DNS namespace?

I don't have those answers, but I am sure whomever in charge might.
