Thank you Dmitry.
What i wanted to know is how to accosiate the domain name with domain
controllers. Hope i'm making sense.
So is the steps i took in the previous post the correct way logically to
install the DC's?
e.g DC1 and DC2 will be in company.com
DC3 and DC4 will be child1.company.com
DC5 and DC6 will child2.company.com
All the domains will be in the same location. Just seperating then according
to functionality.
