Hi.
We have a windows 2000 server and we want it to have an alias.
I've followed the instructions of http://support.microsoft.com/?id=281308:
-------------------------------------------------------
1. Create the CNAME record for the file server on the appropriate DNS
server, if that the CNAME record is not already present.
2. Apply the hotfix to the computer for which the CNAME record was created,
not the DNS server. (Unless the DNS server and file server in question is
the same computer, and then all of the changes is applied is to that
server.) This hotfix affects the LAN Manager Server Service and does not
affect DNS functionality.
3. Apply the following registry change to the file server to which you
installed the hotfix. To do so:
a) Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
b) Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
c) 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
d) Quit Registry Editor
-------------------------------------------------------
That let me execute \\aliasname in a windows xp client.
The windows 98 client can ping the alias name but cant execute \\aliasname
I' ve tried to create alias in the WINS server. That let me ping the new
alias name but either windows XP or windows 98 can't execute \\aliasname.
I really need \\aliasname to work on windows 98. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
We want to create an alias name because the name of the server is
"serverwk00" but when a win98 client goes to the network neighborhood and
tries to execute a file it says "can't execute \\serverwk\c\example.exe
....." (note that the name should be "serverwk00" not "serverwk")
