Active Directory with Dynamic IP?

[scott110 0]

Hello all,

I'm trying to set up Active Directory on a Windows 2003 server. Heres my setup:

-Windows 2003 Server (standard)

-1 router using DSL connection (dynamic IP)

 

Basically, I want the Active Directory to use a real domain that I own (zeno.ca). I need the server to host the domain's web site, the AD, and MS Exchange..... So far, I've managed to get the server to host the domain and web site properly (I use the DDNS service, and bought the Custom DNS option allowing me to host my own TLD with a dynamic IP)....AND I managed to set up Active Directory...kindof.

 

My question is, how do I properly set up AD so that it will not only use my domain (zeno.ca), but will also host MS Exchange?? Say I call the AD hq.zeno.ca, and host the MS Exchange service at mail.exchange.ca...how do I do this??? Do I set it up on my own DNS server (included in Win2003), or do I set it up thru DDNS...or both??? Please help, this thing has been driving me nuts!!

Thanks,

Scott S.
