That is exactly why I was asking. Because I have two DNS entries for the DC, one 
with the long hostname and one with the "netbios name". Those are created during 
domain provisioning. So if there is already a A record for the long name, what 
use is the short name?

But if this is needed for AD to work properly, then so be it.

I guess this also answers my third question, it seems there is no way to set the 
netbios name during provisioning/join.

Thanks for your help, Rowland!

Kind Regards,
Johannes
