Second NIC and only one default gateway. What you are doing is inherently non-deterministic in Windows.
From: Greg Sweers [mailto:gswe...@acts360.com] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2012 12:58 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 2008R2 DNS, Network Location issue How do you handle servers that have 2 IP ranges on them and you get the wonderful Private network setting which really does not allow anything to communicate properly. We have a secondary IP range listed on these boxes to communicate to an app. The Domain Controllers also have this secondary IP range on their virtual adapter. While this is present, it all works just fine. When you remove this secondary IP range from the DC's virtual adapter, none of the guest machines continue working properly and if you reboot it takes like 20 mins for anything to happen while NLA just holds up everything. Eventually the server comes up but things like Exchange, SQL, DFS don't work. All resolution internally is fine. If we remove the secondary IP range from an affected server, it immediately goes to domain network and most everything works. A reboot and we are back in business on that box. Should I split that secondary IP to a separate NIC across all of our boxes? I know its something do to with how NLA is finding the DC's on that secondary range. I just don't know if I am going to have the same problem with just adding another NIC? Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.com<http://www.acts360.com/> P.O.
