Creating Internet-Ready Names

The next generation Windows NT Directory Services also use DNS as their location service. In next generation Windows NT Directory Services, Windows NT Domain Names are DNS names. Users will find the same simple naming used on the Internet in the Windows NT Directory Services. Myco.Com can be both a DNS domain (that is, an area of addressing) and a Windows NT Domain. JamesSmith@Myco.Com is both an Internet e-mail address and a user name in the Myco.Com domain. Windows NT domains can be located on the Internet and Intranet the same way any resource is located on the Internet: by means of DNS. This is shown below in Figure 2.
