Hi Microsoft community,
I have a question regarding my Windows Server 2008 R2 server plans.
Currently, our network has an AD server (which only the admin has access to) that deals with giving out IP addresses, etc on the network 190.160.3.xxx with domain name company.local.
My plan is as follows:
Using my Windows Server 2008 (named newad), set up a new AD environment which puts the servers connected to it on the subnet 190.160.5.xxx as a sort of lab environment (with the domain name lab.local).
Questions:
1. Is this possible?
2. What roles are needed? I have Active Directory Domain Services, DNS and DHCP installed.
What I've done so far lets new servers use their preferred DNS server as my server (newad.lab.local), which lets me see it on my ADDS page.
However, I think these are my mistakes:
1. newad.lab.local is on the network 190.160.3.xxx
2. New servers which connect to lab.local are also on 190.160.3.xxx
I'm not sure how to correct this.
Any help is greatly appreciated, please ask for any further clarification.
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
