asked on
active directory over multiple vlans
I have the following AD structure:
1 forest with 1 DC/GC
6 multiple sub-domains on six different vlans. su-domain 1 is on same subnet as the dc/gc
currently, only one wins and dns server and that is on the dc/gc
from network neighborhood, I can only see the dc/gc and sub-domain 1, which is on the same vlan as the dc/gc. I can't see the other sub-domains, yet, replication, dns lookup and ping works to the other domains. I need to get this resolved as a server application that I am running depends on windows enumeration of the domains. Can someone tell me why this is happening and what I need to do to resolve this issue?

so, you're saying that we should not be using wins? As for the second issue, I agree. Just have had time to do the other implermentations.

Not related to the browsing issue, but as described in the question, you should also configure atleast 2 servers as GC in each AD-site and atleast 2 DNS servers to get redundancy and avoid SPOF when the single GC/DNS is restarted. Configure each DC acting as DNS to use another DNS as secondary DNS.
