Question : DHCP on Multiple domains

Hi All

I have recently joined a new place and found that they are NOT running DHCP .
Around 600 users, yes I know :-).

I've decided to setup DHCP.

We have 5 domains 3 of which is on a separate subnet BUT 2 of them is sharing a subnet.
We also running exchange 2007 and all domain controllers are Windows Server 2008.

Whats the best way of going about this with regards to the 2 domains that is sharing a subnet?
What should I take into consideration?
What are the risks?

please let me know should you need additional information.


Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

regards
Eugene

Answer : DHCP on Multiple domains


> and will look at the SOA of the domain they belong to??

They'll only need that if they're updating DNS directly, not via DHCP.

They'll need to be able to resolve host names and service records for the "other" domain via the DNS servers they use. If a trust is in place that kind of name resolution is already likely to be functional.

You can test that:

nslookup -q=srv _gc._tcp.domain.com

Should give you a list of Global Catalog servers for domain.com.

You're not really missing anything other than testing to make sure. It's quite a simple system really :)

If you gain expert status you get unlimited points with which you can ask questions. Expert points are used for little more than ranking / status / self-satisfaction.

To earn expert status you will need to earn a total of 10000 points, and 3000 points a month to maintain that. Check the Help pages under Answering Questions for more details.
