I am using SBS 2003.
I would like the server to be known on the network as ServerA (it's
original name when installed), and as ServerB. I tried making a ptr
record, and I can ping it by name, but I can't browse the folders when
I try to access it as ServerB. How can I accomplish this?
TIA

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish, and why, but there's an old
trick that should still work in a limited way in SBS 2003. You need to add
an OptionalName value under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters.

Create it as a Multi-String Value, and enter the ServerB name.

This should work for simple file sharing, but won't work for all sorts of
other SBS things, I suspect. There are good reasons you can't change the
name of an SBS server -- the name is too tightly integrated into every
aspect of SBS.

The other trick is to use netdom computername ServerA
/add:ServerB.domain.local

We have needed to do this on occasion....

from mskb 281308
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281308


Windows Server 2003
To resolve this problem in Windows Server 2003, follow these steps:

1. Create the CNAME record for the file server on the appropriate
DNS server, if the CNAME record is not already present.
2. Apply the following registry change to the file server. To do so,
follow these steps:
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate and click the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the
following registry value:
Value name: DisableStrictNameChecking
Data type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Decimal
Value: 1
4. Quit Registry Editor.
3. Restart your computer.

You may also have to set the SPN (Service Principal Name) for the Alias
Name.

That's too obvious - I always forget it and go back to the very old way. ;)
