DNS and Domain conflict [duplicate]

  • 772

I have Active Directory 2012 running (just got it running like today) and I chose the domain "markonsolutions.com"

I now noticed that when i try to visit www.markonsolutions.com that dns doesn't know what to do with it.

my questions

1) is this a bad practice to name our internal domain the same as our internet domain (my intention was to simplfy my users lives by giveing them the same log on as there email addresses)

2) If its not a big deal to have them both under the same name How can I add www or any of my other sub domains to go out to the internet dns?

Thanks

  1. Q: Is this a bad practice to name our internal domain the same as our internet domain?

    A: Yes it is.

    Q: If its not a big deal to have them both under the same name How can I add www or any of my other sub domains to go out to the internet dns?

    A: Don't go down that road. Either rename the current domain or wipe it and start from scratch using an unused sub-domain, such as ad.markonsolutions.com.

    EDIT:

    Statement: "my intention was to simplify my users lives by giving them the same log on as their email addresses"

    Retort: Set up a UPN suffix that matches the DNS suffix of the email address and configure that for your users. This will wind up matching the parent DNS suffix of your AD FQDN if you name your domain something like ad.markonsolutions.com (the UPN suffix will be markonsolutions.com).
