Re: DNS, Group Policy errors when enabling second NIC

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Domain Controllers, and thus SBS do not handle multihoming well
Unless this one of those unique load balancing nics that has software so
that it sees both wires as the same connection...this wont work

The second nic scenario is for the implementation of NAT or ISA

What issues are you seeing at 100mb?
How many users?
What kind of applications are in use?

We're running a 2003 SBS server which has two NICs installed in it. Up
until
this point we've been fine running on a single NIC, so the second one has
been disabled and unplugged without issue. Now we need to activate the
second
NIC to handle increased load on the same network, but when I enable it I
recieve errors related to the group policy objects which seem to be
somehow
tied in with a DNS configuration problem.

Unfortunately, nothing I've read gives any suggestions on how to properly
configure the DNS to work with two NICs. The idea is to give the second
NIC
an IP in the same range as the first, for example 10.0.0.23 and 10.0.0.24
and
reconfigure the router to direct certain traffic to the second NIC. Any
help
on getting this to work properly would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
