Full DNS name is requested

**Anilrgowda** · 05-Jun-2007, 03:25 AM

I have a new Windows 2003 Server, whose name is "voices"

I have run dcpromo to promote the computer to a domain controller. Lets say I plan on calling my domain "Fingers"

I picked the option to install DNS server on the same box.

It asks me for the Full DNS name.

What is this?

What do I type?

voices.Fingers?

Why did it ask me such a stupid question if I told it that I want to install on the same machine?

Or is this a stupid way of asking for the domain name that I plan on using?

Please confirm what I need to put in here and ellaborate on the stupidity or my stupidity of not properly understanding....
