hello,

Not hot on Active Directory, can anyone tell me what issues i may run into if I was to run two AD enviroments on the same subnet? (192.168.0.0/24 for example) ?

Cheers,

Will

erm you can have multiple GC's on the one domain.
Replication takes a while some times.
Why do you want to run it under the same subnet?

two different companies, currently one company does AD and the other does peer to peer. The 'other' company wants to now go to a fully AD network but on the same logical network.

should be possible

We have about 20 odd GC's in our EU domain. We are also now running on the same subnet a different domain for part of the company which has been sold off.

shouldnt be a problem willay, AD can distinguish between 2 physical networks sharing the same information. only problem i can see is IP designation for the workstations, sounds like a lot of work ahead thats for sure.

haha i re-read your question

well in response to that, i dont know TBH

i would say that its no problem using same subnet, AD's will simply fall into the same hot bath of tangled CAT5 cabling. AD users and computers on the physical for example will share common functionality with its post-logical network.

im not sure

why not create one active directory structure with different OU's? or do they need different domain names?

differnt OU's would be one way of doing it.

But i think willay pop wants them on two seperate servers because one already has it set up.

Two different companies, we'd rather not be dependant on the other companies infrastructure.

The other company already has its own servers and shite, we are moving to a AD setup but dont want to be part of their equipment for various reasons.

I've written and presented a proposal to move over to AD already, I just want to make sure that i dont run into any issues when we have all of our stuff on the same subnet they run their ad on.
