Yeah the best practices analyzer is running - Not having much experience with windows Server I didn't see it logical to argue with what M$ deemed a best practice. If it's not really an error then I won't worry about it. My goal was to optimize the system by removing possible errors on the server to start with. I'm still not convinced active directory is working right though (it's not just the terminal server that GPOs don't propagate to it's other desktops on the domain...). chances are I didn't do something right and youtube has been less than perfect at helping me correct it!
Oh the 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 didn't make a difference with the non-compliant best practices analysis. DNS seems to be working when I test it so I'm not going to worry about it unless you think it's contributing.
I'll have to get a good time to setup DHCP from just the server and disable it on the firewall. I've just been told previously DHCP on windows server can be complicated (don't remember who said that though now).
