Hello.

I have an interesting DNS issue in AD (2008R2) which I can't find a way to debug. Mainly if from commandline I try

ping <machinename>
then I get the reply that the hostr isn't found. But when I do
nslookup <machinename>
I get the correct response from my DNS with proper AAAA and A records. Anyone has an idea what could cause this?

The client machines run Windows 7 Enterprise.
