I decided to write about this as something for reference for those folk that are making the jump to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Current Branch. If you are moving from an older version then you won’t have seen this before and you might not even notice it but for the eagle eyed hopefully this…
I’ve been implementing Configuration Manager in an organisation recently which has multiple domains including a single label domain. Now to cut the whole post short I’m not going to step you through how to implement in a single label domain, it can’t/shouldn’t/isn’t supported to be done unless you set up a disjointed DNS namespace.
