Hi all,
I have a strange problem and was unable to find a solution on the web.
Setup:
Windows domain: mydomain.local
Windows server 2008 R2 (domain fonctional level is windows 2003)
DNS set setup correctly. Name resolution working properly as I can ping all my machines (includinf DCs) with netbios name (DNS search suffix is configured on all machines) and FQDN name.
Problem: On my workstations (and DCs for that matter), when I type \\mydomain I get an error saying the path connot be found. If I enter \\mydomain.local , I have access to the netlogon share.
I cannot seem to resolve the netbios name of my domain. I've double checked my DNS config and all seems well.
Any advice?

I forgot to mention, there is no WINS server in my environment.
Just a thought, is this normal behavior in a Windows 2008 environment (forced to use the FQDN name)?
