RE: User login between domains in the same tree/frrest

thanks joe.

I think we will just make this a DC in our forrest/tree root domain. and
create a site link, thanks.

i was erroniously trying to logon to the domain where the user account did
not exist.

cheers

You need to ask yourself - Why do we need a child domain? If you can't
answer this question it's likely you don't need one.

From the information that you have given I see no reason why you would need
to create a child domain. I would proceed with making the server that you
have a DC in your original domain and setup a Site for the Singapore subnet.

If you were to proceed with a child domain you would also require another
server. Although you can run a domain with a single DC it is not
recommended. There is also the obvious extra administration overhead of
running two domains.

On your other point. You cannot logon to a domain with a user account from
a different domain. You can however logon to your own domain from a computer
in a different Trusted domain. When you tried logging on in the different
domain did you select the domain that the user belongs to from the domain
list?

Hi,

My organisation currently has one domain and several sites.

We are based in australia and have a new remote server in singapore, we are
considering making this a child domain of our current domain, but are unsure
if we should make it a child domain or just a DC of our current domain with a
site link?

if we make it a child domain, and we have users in singapore on this child
domain, can those users then come to our parent (forrest/tree root) domain
and login with their user accounts created in ths singapore child domain, and
vice versa?

I thought this was possible but i recreated this situation in a dev
environment, creating a user in the parent domain, but that user was unable
to login to the child domain!

any advice?

thanks
