Re: TCP/IP Configuration

[Mark Murphy <jmarkmurphy@xxxxxxxxx>]

So our domains are kinda messed up. Have been for a while, not sure how it
got that way, not sure how to fix them.

Our internet/mail domain is: metalexmfg.com
Our Active directory domain is: exchange2.metalexmfg.com
IBM i domain name: metalex.manufacturing

When we create a new user, we set the SMTP domain to metalexmfg.com (it
defaults to metalex.manufacturing)

According to the redbook " Windows-based Single Signon and the EIM
Framework on the IBM Eserver iSeries Server", I need to make sure that the
IBM i domain name matches what is returned by nslookup. That returns
nothing, likely because reverse DNS isn't set up. Not sure if that is a
problem or not, but I can ping as400.exchange2.metalexmfg.com, and that is
what is in our local DNS. So I think I need to change the "IBM i domain
name" to exchange2.metalexmfg.com. But what is that going to break?
