Bit of a sanity check required if you don't mind.
When joining a Windows 8 machine to the domain should we use the short domain name 'domain' or the FQDN domain.local?
I seem to recall that I have always used domain.local but wonder if this is still ok with windows 8?
Reason for asking is that we are seeing various Server 2012 issues and from some of the diagnostic logs I am beginning to wonder if using domain.local is correct.
.local
in your domain name is never correct. But that might be an issue for another day...
