Active Directory Trusts - On Vmware Machines
Hi all,
I have 2 vmwares, both 2008 R2 Enterprise, both running Active Directory.
First vmware - AD-01
Second vmware - AD-02
I want to create a trust between the two active directories, but I'm not that familiar with this aspect of it, and even less savvy with DNS etc. I believe I need to set up DNS forwarders.
But first things first, I can't get them to talk to each other! They won't even ping. So what I am trying to understand is how I set the 2 servers up. Do I need to put them in their own private network somehow, or are they ok working on my personal router in the 192.168.0.x ip range?
Any advice how I start this? I'm hoping this thread can get the trusts up and running so making the points high!
Thanks very much in advance,
Kind regards
Darren

I've enabled ICMP on the firewall, but I'm still getting destination host unreachable.

Perhaps a better way of asking this, is how do I set up 2 vmware servers, each with their own dns and AD tree, to create a trust? What needs to be setup so they can talk to each other? Right now they are simply 2 vmware servers, setup as bridged.

Hi guys,
Sorry for the long delay. This has been abandoned now as we are hosting it in a cloud instead. I just need to confirm before I closed the question. Will spread the points.
