Dear,

I have installed Windows server 2003 and server 2008.
The PDC(Primary Domain Controller) i've used is server 2008 as domain: logistics.corp

Has someone an understanding of VMware to clutch server 2008 and server 2003? I want to clutch server 2003 also in domain logistics.corp :confused:

Regards

To be precise, i'm studying AD for Server 2008 (MCITP SA 640,642,646). To fool around I've installed Server 2003, Server 2008 as PDC and Windows 7 as client/fileserver.

I've thrown Windows 2008 server in the domain logistics.corp. The system got an automatically IP address and I didn’t give him a static IP address at the moment.

How do I set up to thrown Server 2003 in the domain logistics.corp? When I used dcpromo.exe to install AD in server 2008 I choose for an existing domain but there is naturally no connection between both servers.

I'm not @ home now, but for so far I've heard it's something in VMware settings?

What your trying to do is impossible.
You need to have to independent networks and then a linux server to smoothwall and make them able to cross communicate

Problem 1# Both your servers put out DHCP
Problem 2# You can not connect 2003 to 2008 server because it will reject.


Soultion, you need 2008 advance server and 2003 advance server to set everything up manaully and you will be right.

What you explaine is completely not right.. I got the solution i guess in the settings of VMware set NAT to local connection. I will test it on monday

correct my self.
Problem #2 Your 2008 server will reject your 2003 server due to IP.
2008 and 2003 will both put out there own dhcp.

In this case problem 1 is that both servers get automatic ip address from the DHCP? You mean to resolve this to set up a static ip?

And your problem 2, is it possible to resolve this whole issue to give them both a static ip address?
 
@Silent Whisper: no offense, but if you don't know what you're talking about then don't try to help. It's nice of you but it doesn't really help him.

@coenraadj:
I guess you're using vmware workstation? I'd strongly advice you to use static ip's especially on domain controllers. The other servers can work with dynamic ip's but it's easier to just give them a static ip.

If you want to use internet on the domain controllers: set vmware up to bridge the network card to the vm's. And give the servers/workstations a static ip in the same subnet of your local network but outside of the dhcp scope.
Without internet: Setup the vm's to use a vmware network (VMnet3 for example) and setup the servers/ workstations with a static ip in a subnet of your choice.

@Vipernitrox: Look what a answer. I especially think I must work with static ip addresses. Monday when I'm back @ home I'll check and confirm an update to you. Thanks for so far!:good:
 
@Viper Thanks viper,
Yeah I have no idea on much about servers.
and I had a hardtime trying to change my friends tech talk into a writtable sentence.

@coen Hope all works out for you.
