Hi, we use an IP-range 10.130.60.X with a 255.255.255.0 subnetmask (so 254 addresses) I would like to add another subnet by changing the subnetmask. of course I could use 255.255.0.0 but this isn't good for broadcast I think. Something ideal would be: 10.130.60.X 10.130.61.X What...

situation : 1 Forest, 1 domain (2003) with 5 sites. Each site represents a factory Each site has its own DC's and is connected through a WAN connection. Now one Factory is sold, so it needs to be removed out of the domain. If we then would disconnect the site from the WAN. And clean out its...

situationA : 1 forest, 1 domain (2003) with 5 sites situationB : 1 forest, 1 domain, 5 subdomains (2003) SituationA ---------- What needs to be done if 1 site is "sold" and needs to be removed from the domain? Is it possible to disconnect it from the WAN, and rename the domain. Or do we need...

Hey all ! Situation : 1 forest, single 2003 domain Through delegation of authority you can delegate printer/share/file/user control. Normally a local admin user on a server can modify programs etc. But what about a DC (no local SAM), how can you enable a normal user to manage a DC (DNS...

Jpoandl, thank you for your confirmation on this subject. I think a single domain will be the best solution tnx & Bye

Theoretically situation : * All 2003 servers * 1 forest, 1 domain, with 5 subdomains (A-B-C-D-E) * All domains are connected through a permanent WAN If a user from subdomain_A travels to subdomain_B he will be able to login to his domain. But will he authenticate to its own DC (subomain_A)...

Situation -------- DomainA consists of 3 act. dir. sites (site1, site2, site3), each with their own DNS,DNS/WINS and DHCP. Site1 will use its own DNS/WINS servers, but no DHCP server. (all other sites will have their own DHCP server) Pc's in site1 should receive an IP address from a dhcp...

Have a look at DHCP User Class options I think this is a solution for you ! http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/7983/7983.html

thank you all for your comment !!!

Mark, we have 8 offices (100 people/office) (8 different countries) Connected with 128 or 256k WAN lines (MCI) All Class C subnets 1. How easy is it to delete a "office" fromt the one domain model ? We just have to delete the two DC's and the connected sites? 2. In the one domain model, I...

Hi Mark, there are 8 European Plants, each with + 100 users. I considered the one domain model with delegation through OU's, but I'm afraid the active direct. traffic will burn out our WAN connections (sometimes only 128K) I know my questions are easy in the one domain model. But I would like...

Who knows how big the active directory replication traffic is ? Ok it depends on the size of the location (users, Ou, netlogon, dns-integrated zone) But are there certain formulas or something ? I used a tool from Microsoft but this s*cked big times. (adsizer =>...

All DC's are 2003 server Model :Single forest, one domain, multiple sub-domains We are planning on switchting to this model. Who know or has experience in these questions ? 1) Can you deploy group policy at the domain level, or do you have to manually deploy them on all sub-domains? 2) How...

Will & Norton, thank you for your vauluable input ! If you guys should know someone who works with the multiple subdomains .. please let him visit this topic :-) Bye, Hans

Hi Will, do you use "sites" for every location so the client knows to which DC he has to authenticate? Is it a 2003 domain ? For the moment all our domains are 2000. I think we have to upgrade one domain to 2003, and then migrate the rest ? Is this correct ? Do you centrally deploy DHCP...
