asked on

Connect 2 separte domains.

Greetings,

information:
domain1: windows 2000 server, DC, IIS configured
domain2: windows 2003 server, DC

I can see all the computers from both domains from all the computers, so the network is intact.

Goal:
I can view http://bh.domain1.com from any computer logged on to the domain1 network.
I would like to be able to view that also from any computer logged onto the domain2 network.

Question:
what do I need to do to be able to accomplish this?

What type of security is currently configured on your IIS pages? Is the DNS for this page configured in the Domain 2?

1) the following boxes are checked:
[x]Anon access
[x]intergrated windows authentication

2) I was able to ping bh.domain1.com but 5 minutes later I couldn't. :-/

from a pc on domain2, drop to a cmd prompt

nslookup bh.domain1.com

what do you get. Post the results please.

from domain 1: (working)

C:\Documents and Settings\ktate>nslookup bh.domain1.com
*** Can't find server name for address 10.10.1.1: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.10.1.1

Name: domain1.com
Addresses: 10.10.1.1, 192.168.100.4
Aliases: bh.domain1.com

negative.

i think the 192.168.100.4 is in the DNS records from a previous schema.

domain 2 uses the same internet pipe.
primary dns server 10.10.11.1 (same ip address dc.domain2)
alternate dns server is 10.10.1.1 (same ip address as dc.domain1)
domain2 dns forwarder (4.2.2.2) (i do not know why. | that is the only dns forwarder)

and yes, I can remove the duff records.

dns on domain1 doesn't use 4.2.2.2 it has 4-5 dns addresses.
both domains only have 1 DC.

so for domain 2, should i take 10.10.1.1 off of the alt dns server?
should i put the same DNS servers from domain1 forwards in the domain 2 dns forwards?
