primary domain suffix issue

Hello,

We are currently restructuring our company’s DNS which is all server 2003. Each of our sites are being added into dns so they will have their own zones.

What I noticed is that as soon as I put, say, miami.company.local as the primary domain suffix on a client, that machine is no longer allowed to browse the root company.local in network places=>all networks=>microsoft=>company

strangely enough it seems to work when browsing this path on a server. It just doesn’t work when changing the dns suffix on a client machine.

The new suffix has been added to msds-alloweddnssuffixes attribute in root schema on the server. This should then allow clients to use that suffix…

Any ideas as to why this might be?

Thanks,
Taz
