Abstract
The chapter illustrates how to plan the best way of resolving host and NetBIOS names on a network. It also discusses issues involved in designing a domain name system (DNS) namespace, such as choosing the parent domain name, the conventions and limitations that govern host names, the relationship of DNS and Active Directory (AD), and how to support multiple namespaces. Planning for host name resolution on a Windows Server 2003 network means developing and implementing a fault-tolerant and secure strategy, whereby host computers on the network are always able to resolve computer names to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and locate services running on the network in a timely manner. On a Windows Server 2003 network, the primary mechanism for locating the domain controllers is host name resolution through DNS.
