Subject: RE: 2 distinct names to a domain controler

Depends what you mean. Is the difference between a FQDN (with the domain part
added) and a netbios name, or are they totally different?

If the latter, then the server's DNS record has different information from
its actual (netbios) name in the System Control Panel. (Which is not a good
situation, it will lead to confusion)
