Dear Nethserver,

When i am trying to make PDC server on Nethserver. Its giving Error of Netbios Name. It accepts only 15 Character. But we have 17 character Domain Name.

I am stuck with Default Netbios Name policy . I have domain which 17 character, NETBIOS name is giving an Error. So my PDC is not properly configured.

So please help us out, it would be very regardable.

Thanks

IMO issue is on your sideā€¦ you have a too long domain name (you said)ā€¦ NETBIOS can not handle it, so you have to change it.

Iā€™d add that we are talking about Windows domain /workgroup nameā€¦ not an ā€œinternetā€ domainā€¦
so, IMVHO, thereā€™s no need for a loooooog name :wink:
