XP Pro/Server 2008 GPO
in [Windows Servers]
|
From: John Stein on 13 Dec 2009 10:28 Here is my small, home network: (1) Server 2008 Enterprise (1) Vista Ultimate client (1) XP Pro client I have a cable modem (Comcast) with a Buffalo router. Each client has a static IP address (I would rather it be DHCP from the router), and DNS is pointing to Server 2008. On the server, I have a conditional forwarder pointing to the gateway IP address of my Buffalo router. 1st, could this be a DNS issue which is making the XP client not respond to the GPO from the server? 2nd, do I have DNS configured correctly? 3rd, is there a way my clients can obtain an IP address from the router and I use GPO to assign the correct DNS IP address? Thank you.

Maybe if the XP machine is manually set to use an incorrect DNS server >2nd, do I have DNS configured correctly? I don't know, you would need to post the output from IPCONFIG /ALL for the XP and Vista PCs >3rd, is there a way my clients can obtain an IP address from the router and >I use GPO to assign the correct DNS IP address? DNS is usually set up on the DHCP server so when the client gets its IP via DHCP from the router it also gets the DNS server addresses. > >Thank you. > >"Meinolf Weber [MVP-DS]" <meiweb@(nospam)gmx.de> wrote in message >news:6cb2911daf6e8cc4a09d3e8dbd2(a)msnews.microsoft.com... >> Hello John, >> >> Start with this one: >> http://www.chicagotech.net/troubleshooting/evenyid13568.htm >> >> Also describe some more detailed your domain setup, amount of DCs, sites >> etc. and if something of the above matches. >> >> Best regards >> >> Meinolf Weber >> Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and >> confers no rights. >> ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups >> ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm >> >>> Running Server 2008 with a Vista and XP client.

Hello John, 1. Yes. 2. To check DNS please post an unedited ipconfig /all from all 3 machines. 3. Even if the router is possible to provide DHCP services, use the server instead, mor options and you can fully integrate it within DNS Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm > Here is my small, home network: > > (1) Server 2008 Enterprise > (1) Vista Ultimate client > (1) XP Pro client > I have a cable modem (Comcast) with a Buffalo router.
