Hi,
Our company recently let us create a test domain to let us test certain configurations outside a production environment.
We created the test domain as a totally separate Active directory forest, our production environment consists of a single-domain forest as well. All our servers run W2k3.
We’ve set the Test domain up on a different subnet and our routers are set to route anything to that subnet over an internal connection.
Currently our DNS is active directory integrated on both the production and test domains. We set up a Forwarder in our Company’s production DNS to forward DNS queries for the test domain to the test domain dns server. We can ping hosts on the test domain by Hostname and ip address, but for some reason we are unable to get the MX records to work. Trying to send mail to the exchange server on the test domain fails, we’re unable to ping the mx record. We are able to ping the Echange server just by host name, but mail won’t flow.
Does anyone have any idea which step we’re missing here?
