Clive,

As Meinolf said, this was answered for you in the other thread.

Summary:
If using Active Directory, choose a domain name, such as clive.com. The server called server1, will be officially server1.clive.com. PC1 will be pc1.clive.com.

Read the rest of the answers and explanations in the otehr thread, please. If you have any questions, please try to keep it to one thread.

Thank you,
