DNS setup for 2 sites, 2 domains in same forest
Hello,
I currently have mydomain.co.uk domain up and running on ServerA and has been for a few years at site A 10.10.10.*. I have now setup otherdomain.co.uk up as a new domain tree in my Active directory forest on ServerB at site B which is on a different subnet - 10.10.1.*
When I was testing this on the same subnet it seemed to replicate ok etc but now it's on a different subnet I'm struggling with my dns.
ping ServerB - cannnot see ServerB
but
ping ServerB.otherdomain.co.uk works..
Any help or pointers with how the DNS should be setup in this situation would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

My DNS server on mydomain.co.uk is Active directory integrated. I have a WINS server on the Network mydomain.co.uk also.
I don't believe NETBIOS over tcp/ip is disabled.
Hi Jay_Jay - I can't access that link as I'm not a member currently unfortunately.. I don't use it enough.
I'm really just looking for a generic tutorial on linking 2 windows sites when they are both in seperate domains/subnets but in the same forest..? I think this would help me to sort this dns issue.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
How did you setup the DNS server? Did you choose Active Directory Integrated or Primary? Also do you have WINS on your network or have you disabled the NetBIOS over TCP/IP option in the nic's on your network? Check the DNS Server mmc to see if you have any _svr records that point to this machine, you may need to do a net start netlogon on that machine to get it to build the svr records again for you.
