I'm working with an organization where the Active Directory domain name and primary DNS suffix are both:
wxyz.com
For some reason, the NetBIOs name of the domain is:
XYZ
So users can logon with this NetBIOS name\username combination:
XYZ\jsmith
Technically, I believe this is a disjointed namespace.
Question: is any remedial action necessary before migrating from Exchange 2007?
I see that for other disjoint namespace scenarios, one would have to modify the msDS-AllowedDNSSuffixes attribute on the domain controller container or adjust the DNS suffix search list.
Since this is a NetBIOs name (not DNS), is there anything to do?
I've looked at a number of sources (for Exchange 2010 and 2013)...

But don't see any action to be taken for a NetBIOS name.
This discussion seems to imply that there is no problem:
Thanks in advance!
