Re: Same two Domain Names in the same network

Further to your message

I had checked the FSMO roles on both the DC's

when I use the Netdom query fsmo command

I could see all the five roles in ABC.XYZ.com and in another also DEF.XYZ.com.

Both the DC's are running in the same network(same physical network same IP
range). I came to know from the IT administrator that both are separtely
built -without joining to the main domain; there was issues in migrating
exchange from old server to the new.

I will try to send you the event logs by today afternoon.

Both these domain (XYZ.com) exist in the same network. I ho

Hello Sathya,

The 5 roles are allways on the first installed DC which is correct and if
you only have one DC it can only be on this machine. FSMO roles can only
be on a dDC not on a member server. What kind of performance problems do
you have? Please give some more infos, Event viewer errors etc.

Dear Mainolf Weber,

Thanks for the update.

Then can you clarify further. I could see on both the domain
controllers (which are in the same physical site) all the five FSMO
roles are running.

Schema, Domain, PDC, RID Pool Manager & Infrastructure. I see
performance issues on the network.

Hello Sathya,

This is normal configuration, so what is the problem?
The kind of configuration you need to work in one domain with
different servers
which have different functions, like in your case. One as Domain
controller
which is responsible for user configuration, DNS, authentication etc.
and
the exchange server which handles the email part of your domain for
the users
that are allowed to logon your domain. If they are not in the same
domain
it would not work.

Dear Weber,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

PresentlyDomain name, network name, name of domain controller and
name of Exchange

server.

Domain name:-XYZ.com - Windows 2000
Domain Controller name:- ABC - ABC.XYZ.com ---- AD & exchange
Server2000 -
used only for Exchange messaging.
Domain name:-XYZ.com - Windows 2000
Domain Controller name:- DEF - DEF.XYZ.com -- Active AD
Both these domain (XYZ.com) exist in the same network. I hope now it
is clear.

Hello Sathya,

You can have a lot of Domain controllers in one domain, or did you
mean the same servername? So please clarify a bit your naming
problem.

Domain name, network name, name of domain controller and name of
Exchange server.

Best regards

I saw today same Windows 2000 Domain Controller (with same domain
name) in the same network having different roles: one with
Exchange role and another one is with AD role.

I think there will be performance problems

Can anyone suggest how to go about and remove one with a safe
procedure?

Best Regards,
