Hello all,
I have two Servers running active directory. One is
hosting exchange while the other is hosting files...
In trying to get on the internet, I am using the IP of the
first machine for DNS. It is pointing to itself and using
my ISPs DNS address in forwarders. I am also pointing all
the other PCs on the network to the local IP of the first
server for DNS. Should I be using the same IP address of
my first server for my second server for DNS as well or
should the second server point to itself?
I see the two domains when I look in Network Neighborhood,
and I can ping either machine, the router and the DNS
addresses on the router. Unfortunately, when I try to
establish trust relationship between the two, I get the
error message that the other domain cannot be contacted.
My first problem is this
Server1 name gwic
domainname gwiconline.com
Server2 name forbes
domainname gwic.biz
When server1 boots up, it says duplicate name on network
and there is no other name that looks like gwic on this
network other than the domain name of server2. I cannot
seem to change the name because both are domain
controllers.
Can someone please tell me what I did wrong?
