Hi:
Actually it is transaltion in regard when the proper domain name is not
reachable. I can join client to domain but when it is joined some computers
get xxxxx.cm and some xxxx.com. I have checked the primary dns suffix on all
some .cm and some .com.

actually answer is clear how shall i change all my DCs and workstations to
one domain name which is .com.

I did chage primary dns suffix of one DCs than that stop replication and
many more errors.

thanks
