Hi Does the end user EVER have to type in the internal NETBIOS name of the domain? Reason being we have an horrendous internal domain name and if it never gets exposed that's great - As far as I understand users use the external domain configured in AAM and never have to use the internal domain name Is this true? Cheers Jon
