Hello, currently we have a windows 2003 server that is a member server of our domain. This server hosts VPN for our outside users. We would like to promote this server to a domain controller. I've heard that there are specific rules you need to follow when promoting a VPN server to a domain controller so that the servers "vpn IP address" isn't registered in dns. I have actually seen this problem on other servers before where you have a domain controller that is hosting dns and the server registers the its VPN ip in DNS. Supposedly there is a KB article pertaining to this. Can anyone point me to this document? Thank you.

First off, my advice is "don't do it"! Having a remote access server running as a DC is basically a bad idea. If you are detrrmined to do it anyway, see KB 292822 and 830063 .Bill
