Subject: Ordering of domain in case of DFS domain referral

Hello dochelp team,

I've got a small question regarding the ordering of domain when answering a Domain \
referral request as described here: 3.3.5.2 Receiving a Domain Referral Request

My questions are:

* in which order the domain should be returned ? if any  (ie. first lower domain like \
                samba.corp then au.samba.corp then brisbane.au.samba.corp)
* I understand that nebios/dns name must go in couple, (ie. not return first all the \
dns name then all the netios name, but each pair accordingly), but what must appear \
first NETBIOS domain or DNS domain name ?

Also depending on the answer you'll make on the first point this statement might need \
also amendment: "MUST give preference to the NetBIOS and fully qualified names of the \
DC's own domain first, and then give preference to other domains. This ensures that a \
client in the same domain as the server will always be able to access SYSVOL and \
NETLOGON paths correctly.<35>"

As I understand it didn't state that the own domain of the DC must be first, just \
that if the DC has a choice to make between its own domain referral information and \
another domain then it should choose its own first. Am I right ?


Regards.

Matthieu Patou.
