Hi Techrepublic,
I’m trying to setup DFS for directory replication for my network. However, before I do this I need to be able to connect to other domains within the network (IPVPN) so that domain controllers can talk to each other. The problem I’m having is I cannot connect to other domains or DCs. I can share files through mapping over IP addresses but the other servers/domains are not visible in DNS, WINS, or AD.
Here is the configuration of my network:
Site Melbourne:
NetBIOS of DC: melb
Domain name: domone.com (DOMONE pre-2000)
Site Sydney:
NetBIOS of DC: syd
Domain name: sydney.domone.com (SYDNEY pre-2000)
Site Canberra:
NetBIOS of DC: ca
Domain name: canberra.domone.com (CANBERRA pre-2000)
Each site has only 1 DC.
Eg. If I log on to DC ca in Canberra and run AD Domains and Trusts, I cannot connect to other domain controllers because other controllers are not available, and vice versa.
Thanks for your help.
