We have a lab set up where we need to have Linux clients at a “remote site” join our domain. To get the Linux Clients on the Domain we are using a program called LikeWise, the program works great because we can get computers on the Local side to join without a problem. Our problem is when we try it on the other side we get a “domain controller for ourdomainname.school.edu cannot be found” error. We have full conectivity accross, I can ping from remote client to our DNS server. However the remote side cannot resolve hostnames for our local domain. We are pretty sure we need to point the Linux DNS server to the windows DNS server somehow but none of us are excptionally Linux Savy.
One thought that crossed our minds was to set up a RODC on the remote side have the computers on the remote side join that instead to solve the problem. We are just trying to avoid that solution because that’s how everyone else has decided to go and we just think there must be another simpler solution. If not please let me know.
(I tried my best to diagram it let me know if you have any questions.)
