asked on
second domain controller on other network
Hi,
i have a Domaincontroller on the network 10.1.1.x
on my home network i have the range 192.168.0.x
i have a vpn tunnel over my routers so that i can see both lan's.
how can i install a second domaincontroller on the network 192.168.0.x and let that sync with the first one.
the reason is that i want to add my home computer tot the same domain then on the office.

i am the owner of the company and i want to build a second office at home. i need to be able to join computers to the network from home. not traveling to the other office.
it is not for accessing recources on the other network. i want to join the domain to set some password and user policy

so, the simplest solution is build point to site vpn connection from your home to office network, then RDP to office server and manage server computers or whatever things from that RDP session, even policies
Still u want to setup DC at home, you need to build site to site vpn tunnel between home and office

That is incredibly insecure, your home gets robbed, they get your domain controller for your company.....
Just do what everyone else does and VPN into your network, do not put in a DC at your home.

OK Guys, i am looking for the solution. I am not getting robbed... this is Belgium, not a war zone...
Let me specify this. i have an office where i live.
3 people working on the home office location and needs to connect to a secondary dc controller that replicate from the first dc.

Get a cloud based DC from Azure in that case, secure, done properly and robust. In the event your office blows up, you'll have everything up there plus you don't need to put a DC in your home....

This solution is only available to members.

BTW, you could just setup a VPN and point all machines to the office DC. But having a second at home helps ensure redundancy (if setup properly), potentially for files too. This is not a bad thing from a disaster recovery standpoint. Many people would have recommended this from the start if you never mentioned that this other site was "home"

Great Support and solution!
And why you want to add your home computer to domain?
If that is mandatory, you should bring your home computer to company network, join it to company domain and take it back to home and then keep logging on with offline cache credentials and then use standard VPN to authenticate your corporate ID and password and access corporate resourses
OR
If you may have VPN solution which works right from computer startup, use that and your machine should get authenticated with company DC
