I am working on an internal facing wiki that is hosted on a linux box in the office that also holds our backup-server roll. The name of this server is 'backup-server' and DNS resolves this to the correct IP (192.168.1.103).
I would like for the users accessing the wiki to be able to go to 'wiki.domain.com' where the domain is our internal office domain. I thought this would be a simple DNS A record change but it seems to be not working as I thought it would.
The other way that i have made this work on the few computers I use while developing the wiki is to just edit the 'hosts' file with: wiki.domain.com 192.168.1.103
I have a Win Server 2012 DNS server and would like to edit the DNS there so that i can easily push out the change to all computers in the network but I cant seem to get this to work.
How would i go about getting this FQDN pointing to the correct IP?

to your internal DNS zone? Did you configure the appropriate host headers (or the equivalent) on the web server?CNAME
is for.
