Domain Controller

August 31st, 2007, 4:04 am

Dear Sir,

I have two primary domain controller (ENIAC.EDU, INSAT.NET) in two windows 2003 server machine.

ENIAC.EDU (Machine 1)
IP Address : 180.100.101.1
Mask : 255.25.0.0

INSAT.EDU (Machine 2)

IP Address : 180.100.102.1
Mask : 255.255.0.0

I want to move the INSAT.EDU Domain controller under the ENIAC.EDU

That means

ENIAC.EDU -> Primary Domain
INSAT.EDU -> Child Domain

How to Assign ?

Is the INSAT.EDU domain going away? If it is just demote it by running dcpromo and then promote it again using dcpromo and make it a child domain controller. Then you would have:

ENIAC.EDU (Machine 1)
IP Address : 180.100.101.1
Mask : 255.25.0.0

and then

INSAT.ENIAC.EDU (Machine 2)
IP Address : 180.100.102.1
Mask : 255.255.0.0

If the INSAT.EDU domain is not going away your best bet is to leave the domain controller alone and create a trust between the two domains.

Then your best bet is to do the Forest Trust. This way you will keep your domains in tact and users from one domain can access resources on the other domain and vice versa.

Hello Sir,

My friend working in software company.

He has one problem.

The problem is

They were using 3 windows 2003 server.

One is parent and two's are Child domain.

before two months the child domain 2 is corrupted.

But the domain name (child domain2) is dispalyed in parent and child domain1.

So they have tried to delete the child domain1 in parent using ADSIEDIT.EXE.

The Domain is deleted sucessfully.

Using NTDSUTIL.EXE utility they are verified the listed domains.

But the domain name is displayed in windows logon dialog box.

How to delete it?

Please reply.
