2 domains controllers running separate domains on same network.
Hi,
We have a Hyper V Host server running our own VM Windows 2012 domain controller. We've been asked to perform a restore test of a clients 2011 SBS server and test it's functionality. We've restored their backup to a new VM on our Hyper V host and their server fires up ok however there are now 2 different domains and dc's on the network and DHCP etc is breaking. We don't have a managed switch but was wondering if there was anything we can do to have both domains accessible enough to have one PC connect to he new restored domain as a test?
Thanks
Adam

Sorry, edit screen not working. Also could you assign a different IP scheme to one of the VM's and use HyperV's built in switch to control cross pollution?

Hi Larry, that's great looks like I may have been over thinking the problem, will disable DHCP on the new SBS DC and set the test PC up with a static IP. Many thanks for your reply!
Great... thanks. If you have other issues please post again.
