RE: 2008R2 DNS, Network Location issue
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.comhttp://www.acts360.com/ P.O.

Re: New Domain Controllers
My first question is why are you looking to replace your domain controllers right now? What's the driver? Old hardware at EOL? Off lease? Moving to 2008 FFL/DFL? Single Forest ? Single domain?

RE: New Domain Controllers

RE: New Domain Controllers
Right. The main concern I know about VM's DC's is to make sure the PDC emulator gets it's time from an external source and that the rest of the forest/domain structure rely on the PDCe. PDC VM getting it's time from the host isn't how MS suggests how to do it. Also make sure you can get into the host systems with local credentials! I have just made it habit to log into my Hyper-V hosts with local credentials so if the DC's are down/disconnected I'm not in a panic of crap...how do I get in?

As far as the upgrade, I personally would go with 2008R2, since 2012 just came out. We're going to be standing up a couple of 2012 boxes, but only for features that 2012 is supposed to do a lot better and easier than 2008R2 (DA for one). 2 DCs per site sounds like it may be overkill, but redundancy is a good thing too, if it's affordable for you.

Re: New Domain Controllers
Agreed, I've usually leaned towards at least one physical DC for DNS resolution in the event of a full virtual shutdown/restart (which doesn't necessarily have to be a DC, but usually is), but it's nice to have some AD authentication available for people to log on to workstations and fire up the virtualization console you're using without any hassle in the same situation.

RE: IIS tricks
Several ways to accomplish this, but one way is to put a default.asp in the root folder that contains -snip-- % If Request.ServerVariables(HTTP_HOST) = http://hostname.mydomain.com; Then Response.Redirect (http://hostname.mydomain.com/thissite/page88;) End If If Request.ServerVariables(HTTP_HOST) = http://hostname2.mydomain.com; Then Response.Redirect (http://hostname.mydomain.com/othersite/page7;) End If % -snip-- You'll need to enable asp in IIS if its not already. I'm sure it's also possible to do in asp.net if that's enabled. You'll also want to make sure that default.asp is the first document returned by the website.

Re: IIS tricks
Sure, just set up two virtual hosts, and use the Redirect all requests to this exact destination option on the second one. Either use the Only redirect requests to content in this directory option on the first vhost, or write a redirect into default.aspx.
