We are currently on a NT domain connecting to the internet through a fiber connection. All of our workstations and servers have static IPs and have our ISP’s external DNS servers set as their DNS servers.
We will be demoting our PDC, promoting a secondary, removing it from the network and plugging it into a hub, then upgrading to Win Server 2003, and reattaching to the network.
I know we need to set all of the other computers we setup as DCs to point to our internal DNS server, but my question is:
Do the other none-domain controller machines (ie servers on the domain, and desktops, laptops, etc) need to have our internal DNS server set as their DNS server, or can they remain pointed to the external ISP DNS and still properly see/add to the domain?
