Hey there,
I really appreciate any help getting my final steps in setting up FreeIPA in my
environment.
Initial situation:
I have two separate local domains running with separate DC servers for AD and
DNS. Let's name them
example1.local
example2.local
I know .local is not recommended everywhere. But I cannot change this at the
moment and it is as it is right now. I am sorry.
I am already running a DNS on my DCs I decided to install FreeIPA completely
without DNS and setup manually the primary zone on my existing Windows DCs to
manage everything regarding DNS centrally. This works already and the ad trust
I did later also works perfectly.
Now, my actual question
It has been recommended everywhere to create the IPA domain as a subdomain of
the main domain. So in my example I would have:
ipa.example1.local
ipa.example2.local
During the installation of FreeIPA I have to set the Netbios name. The problem
I see is that if I name a subdomain, e.g., ipa.example1.local and
ipa.example2.local, the Netbios name will be “IPA” for both. That's not
advantageous, is it?
What would be rather the solution?
Changing the Netbios during installation manually to e.g. and leaving the
domain structure as suggested above
EXAMPLE1IPA
EXAMPLE2IPA
Or overthinking the complete IPA domain name and do it without the
subdomain structure?
example1ipa.local
example2ipa.local
All the best and thank you for your help in a fundamental decision.
