Re: Floating Computer between domains



LOL
As I told you Joe in some else other post, you're in deed Psychic, how the hack did you come up with the conclusion that the networks were disconnected???
Sorry Josh No connection NO TRUSTS. Unless you've a router that performs routing between the 2 DCs. Note that multihomed DCs aren't recommended

It is unlikely this would work properly for you.

These two networks are PHYSICALLY DISCONNECTED.

so the two forests cannot communicate with eachother. the reason for
this is that the system that runs on these computers uses ethernet
broadcast methods to preform it's work and cannot be allowed to
interfer with the other instance of the system. (not my design, and I
can't do anything about this). So perhaps if I need to setup a trust,
could I install another NIC into the domain controller on isolated
network, and then allow it to talk to the DC on the other network...
Would this work allowing the two DC's to communicate with eachother?
Could I then make this interfacing domain controller a part of the set
for the main domain?

When you say two different networks, do you mean physically
disconnected? I.E. The forests cannot communicate with each other? If
they are connected and can communicate, then you can set up a trust. If
not you are in a bit of a spot. Assuming the latter, I would set this up
by running Virtual PC or VMWare workstation on the laptop. Then I would
load another copy of the OS in a guest VM and that would be used for
talking to one domain. The main laptop would be used for talking to
another domain.

I do something like this for work only the laptop itself isn't in any
domain, I run VPC and any customers I deal with that I need to work on
their network, I set up a VM for each of them and I use that VM
exclusively when working on their stuff. I also have a VM for talking to
my company network I work for.
