I am running W2K with AD with 100 users all on a 192.168.1.0 subnet. I
want to setup a lab environment with a new AD and a few workstations
to test with. I need my default gateway on this to go out and get
updates etc. But I don't want my production AD to see my lab AD. What
would I need to setup a subnet for the lab environment?

Hi Pat,

Thanks for your posting here.

You can set up another AD with different DNS name and NETBIOS name in your
subnet, and it will not affect your production AD.

Have a nice day!
