Guest Cheech Chong Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Hello all, I'm moving a server to another network which already has a server with the same name. They are in different Active Directory domains. Do I need to change the name of the server I am moving? I thought I would ask if anyone has had this situation come up before. The server I'm moving is running: - Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition, SP1 - Terminal Services - Active directory (Domain Controller) - File Server - DNS Server - DHCP Server - MS SQL Server 2000 Currently the server name / IP is: Server1.DomainA.local / 192.168.12.2 The other server with the same hostname is: Server1.DomainB.local / 192.168.0.2 - Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition, SP1 - Active directory (Domain Controller) - File Server - DNS Server - My SQL Server 2000 I'm wanting to keep the DomainA.local and DomainB.local separate. (There are no Active Directory client PCs for DomainA.local. The clients connect via Terminal Services). Any problems with 2 Netbios names on the same LAN? Thanks, --CC
