dns issues is killing us

2008-05-15 Thread Thomas Gonzalez
So we had a power outage yesterday, finally came back online this morning. Now for some very odd reason, our ASA which connects to ATTs CISCO 2800 then to the circuit; is not performing the look ups to allow our staff surf the net. Any ideas if i should start looking on the DNS side of 2003?

Not enough info to assist... Please elaborate on your DNS architecture. Clients query internal DNS server...all internal queries go to internal master DNS server...Master DNS box performs lookups on behalf of the domain to an ISP DNS server or to the ASA? If above is correct, then is

You did not say if you purchased HA and DRS. If you have a VMware cluster of 2-3 hosts this will provide you with a level Of high availability and fault tolerance. If one host dies they are restarted on another host or if one node becomes overloaded It will move to another host. I would 86 using

I do have HA, DRS, V Motion and VCB so I'm aware of and use all these. My thoughts are how best to protect/reproduce an environment if our single site has a disaster. SRM came out today, I think, but as mentioned in OP, I don't have the budget for a co-lo at this time. Andy Shook Decision

Missing dedicated forest root DC

2008-05-15 Thread RM
Guys, quick question... We're doing a mock disaster recovery here. Can we spin up a child dc without also spinning up a DFR dc and get it to work well enough to start AD, authenticate users, etc? We've tried it already and it hasn't worked so far. I suspect it's due to the lack of an

Hi, Adding an SSL certificate is unrelated to requiring SSL. Either in IIS (via the Require SSL setting) or in the application itself, you can require connections to be over HTTPS. But the act of acquiring and installing a certificate and configuring IIS to use it is a separate process.

RE: Processor Cores, and Windows Version questions

Windows Server works on the sockets in the machine. Not the cores. If you have one/two/four physical sockets, it doesn't matter how many cores each CPU has - you need to use the version of Windows Server that will work with that number of physical sockets. Cheers Ken -Original

The two Forest level FSMO role holders are the Schema Master (which holds the writable copy of the Schema) and the Domain Naming Master (which prevents naming collisions when altering domains). You don't need either to authenticate users. Cheers Ken From: Andy Shook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not enough information. Where is your DNS? Do you have an entry for a GC that points to your remaining DC? You need a GC to populate Universal Group membership (or you need Universal Group membership caching enabled). No GC = no logon (except using cached credentials) Cheers Ken From: RM

If I had a single site I would be looking to 'save' the SAN because I can always put boxes on the end with VI3 and mount the images. Again DRBD would work with a bunch of cheap hardware and no cost if you don't have a san already. At the end of the day your sole need is to get your vmdk's onto
