Re: how to setup a secondary NIC on a domain controller

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I am not bored after reading that - but I am highly confused. The only
protocol in use between sites is IPX/SPX? Not TCP/IP? That boggles my mind
because quite frankly you should not be able to use Active Directory in such
a configuration.

Again, you really need to tackle this in an organized manner. Just saying
"people complain that the mail server is slow" doesn't tell us - or you -
anything. Is it slow because it's filling the T1 pipe to capacity? Is it
slow because the server has performance issues?
