I am seeing an issue where I can't access the company website from the in-office server, and I also can't ping the mail server (both of these are hosted by some ISP).
After looking around I think the domain name might be conflicting with the web address.
In AD I can see that the domain is called company.co.za, and when I try set user in cmd, the output is
USERDNSDOMAIN=COMPANY.CO.ZA
USERDOMAIN=COMPANY
USERDOMAIN_ROAMINGPROFILE=COMPANY
USERNAME=Bassie
USERPROFILE=C:\Users\Bassie
And the company website is company.co.za
What should I do here? Is it safe to rename the domain, or is there some DNS setting I can change?
From the set user command I can see that the conflict is only under USERDNSDOMAIN, but I have no idea what the implications of that is.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you

Renaming an Active Directory is not fun.
Just add A records to your Active Directory DNS for your outside servers.
