Trusts:
I have a windows 2000 Domain controller (forrest1)
I have a windows 2003 domain controller (forrest2)
they are both in their own forrests and are the only domain controllers in each.
Ok I want to trust the 2 but I cannot get DNS working properly.
I have setup forwarders on both machines to point to eachother but cannot resolve either DC’s name
I have created a secondary forward lookup zone, as well as a reverse lookup zone on each of the DNS servers which then point to each other.
Should I make 1 server the primary DNS server – and then on my secondary server I remove all forwarders, and simply put the IP of the master DNS server?
I have little experience with active directory, and I really dont want to stuff anything up. It took me a while getting DNS working properly for the individual domains so I dont want to ‘bork’ it by fiddling too much!
Ive read a number of articles, guides etc and they all say use forwarders or create a secondry zone on each of the servers. Im obviously doing something wrong 🙁
Any help would be great as im struggling! If you need any more specific info let me know! I just didnt want to write an essay as it seems to put people off replying.
thanks
