Hello Customer,
Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank Lanwench for the input.
According to your description, I understand that the Computer Name tab of
System properties on DC and domain clients all display Domain as "local"
but not "domainname.local". If I have misunderstood the problem, please
don't hesitate to let me know.
Before we go any further, please let me know the following information so
that we can understand your situation more clearly.
1. Do you run SBS as the single DC? If not, please repost your issue in
proper newsgroup.
2. Please capture screenshots on the Computer Name tab of System properties
on DC and domain client, then send the pictures to me at
v-terliu@microsoft.com
3. Gather MPS network report on SBS:
a. Download MPSrepot_network from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_NETWORK.EXE
b. Run MPSRPT_NETWORK.exe.
c. The tool will automatically collect the information. This procedure will
take 10~15 minutes.
d. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder:
%SystemRoot%\MPSReports\Network\Reports\Cab\
e. Send the .cab file directly to me at v-terliu@microsoft.com
I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks and have a nice day!
Best regards,
Terence Liu (MSFT)

| I struggled with this one and finally figured it out but I want to
| understand what is going on with this network.
| Single DC on the network. When I looked at all of the domain members
| under computer properties, the domain name only reads "local". I also
| looked under the active directory on the server and the computer
| properties of the server and it was listed as "local". I assumed that
| someone prior to me had set this up as a single level DNS domain name.
| So I tried to add a member with "local" as the domain name and it
| continued to fail.
| So eventually I noticed that if I browsed the network on a workstation
| that was already part of the domain the domain name was actually
| "DOMAIN". So I tried to add the member with this name and it worked.
| But it still displays as simply "local" when viewed under computer
| properties, under active directory on the DC, etc.
| Why is the FQDN not showing. I expect it to be displayed as
| "DOMAIN.local"??
| Is there a group policy setting that hides this part of the domain
| name.
| All is working fine I just wanted to understand why this is happening?
