Re: [Veritas-bu] Changing Domains for Master and Media Server
Mike, Unfortunately if they existed they would be like gold dust and in turn Symantec would be out of pocket. I pretty much figured it out for myself.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Changing Domains for Master and Media Server
You've got a number of options here, but we'll need some clarification first. Are you using FQDNs for your Master and Media servers as well as clients? Windows security is not going to be a concern as Ed said below, as long as DNS lines up. Your master server's name will have to remain the same, and if you are using FQDNs then the DNS name will have to be the same as well. You might be able to "fake out" Netbackup using hosts files. Making your master server into both a master server and "new" media server. Aka... master.olddomain.com is still the master, but its also called master.newdomain.com in DNS and just happens to be a media server. I would test all of this in VM before trying any of it. -Jonathan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Wilts Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 10:12 AM To: 'Conner, Mike'; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Changing Domains for Master and Media Server I think we're getting confused by the term "domain" since they mean different things within Active Directory than they do within NetBackup.
