kizzle911 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I just set up a test Windows Server 2003 virtual environment, gave it a static IP which I assigned from our DHCP. I also created a virtual client which I want to connect to the server but for some reason it cannot detect the Domain Controller. I have a feeling it has something to do with DNS. Here's the info:Server IP: 192.168.10.221DG: 192.168.10.254DNS: 192.168.10.221ClientIP: 192.168.10.222DG: 192.168.10.254DNS: 192.168.10.221Both are set statically. Some please help. Thanks.

cluberti Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 if you ping <domain>.<tld> from the client, what response do you get? Also, is the DNS active directory integrated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyeball Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 it will depend on the type of Connection that the virtual systems have, if you can select the actual ethernet port of the box they are running on as their network adapter both should pick up an IP on the same range as your physical machine if you have a dhcp server. Im not very familiar with VMWare though so i dont know if what i am saying is possible (although im sure it is)try it out and post back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
