Re: mirroring domains

Hi

Assuming that you're trying to add the same name to different computers my
advice is:



Don't duplicate names in any circumstances; if the machines are connected to
the same hub/switch device you'll have Duplicate names errors on your
network. If you have Duplicate names between routers, your Wins resolution
won't work well, because the request will always go to the closest local
subnet.

You can have "duplicate" computers name between domains, because the DN will
be different, but don't that because troubleshooting can be sometimes more
difficult to solve.

I am probably being really dumb but....

I have created a new domain dev.local, production domain is prod.local,
I have created a dc obviously dc.dev.local, however, I have been asked
to create machines within this doiman that are the same name a servers
in our production domain. Now that shouldn't be a problem, but both
domains are on the same subnet.

Whilst the dc is providing dns and wins services, I know I will not
have an issue with dns, I am more concerned with netbios.

Assuming I build the machines with wins and dns pointing at the new dc,
will i have any issues that i should watchout for?

can anyone see any issues that i might come across for client machines
wishing to connect to the dev.local doamin and resolving names
correctly. I know that I will need to configure ip details manually for
wins and dns, but should that be it?

Hope you can help.

Thanks

Richard.
