I was wondering how it works because we see a problem where a couple of Win 10 clients can resolve all the internal Windows servers names, but not the statically assigned names of linux servers.
I thought if the name resolution works over different mechanisms and uses different ports it could be an firewall or L3 switch somewhere that has been misconfigured.
This is common in situations where Linux is not given an opportunity to auto-update the DNS entries, no one makes them manually, and they are not joined to AD.
Exactly - have you or anyone else added these servers to AD's DNS?
They have been added manually. The name of the service is also not the name as the server. So if a webserver is abc001.company.com the name in the DNS that will send you to that server might be logistics.company.com.
if you're being sent to logistics, that's the entry that must be in DNS.. you can have as many entries as are needed for a single server.
each name is it's own entry.
