2 SBS2003 SERVERS IN ONE LOCATION

[Guest Simon Gare]

Hi all,

 

can anyone help or point me to some reference material about having 2 small

business servers in one office controlling 2 domains although they are both

running with no conflicts I cannot get one to access the internet or ping

form any workstation in the building.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards

Simon

Hello Simon,

 

Ofcourse you can run two domains in one office and also on one physical network.

Not the best solution but will work. The question about your problem is,

how are the servers/clients are connected to the internet, i assume via switch

and the switch to a ADLS router or something similar? Check that the clients/server

use only the domain ainternal DNS servers and that the DNS server has configured

a forwarder in the DNS management console under the server properties forwarders

tab pointing to the ISP's DNS server. Also please post an unedited ipconfig

/all from one SBS and one client from the same domain. I assume that both

domains have the same problem because both can not access the internet. So

lets start with one domain first.

 

Best regards

Hi Meinolf,

 

First of all, I would like to thank you for your reply on behalf of Simon. :)

 

Let me explain the situation in detail. Actually, our current network

infrastructure has DHCP and DNS running on the same Windows Small Business

Server 2003 server machine.

The network traffic external to our domain i.e. Internet is accessed using a

Broadband router.

 

Now, we have got another server machine. And we are planning to put up

another server that also serves the purpose of DHCP and DNS services, apart

from being just a DB server.

 

So, we thought may be if we can put two subnets, both subnets have different

domains and different DHCP and DNS server.

 

So, is it feasible to continue with it as planned or do you have some other

and more useful solution, in terms of maintainance, ease of implementation

etc.

 

Kind Regards,

Muhammad

Well, we haven't put up the second domain in our network. So, there is only

one domain at the moment. And all the domain users can access internet.

 

I hope that helps.

Hello muhammad,

 

I think on the server ipconfig you have typo at the WINS server, different

network not accesssible with your subnet mask. So just to come clear, only

the server can not open websites and ping outside your network? Check if

a firewall is enabled on it that blocks the traffic.

For SBS you also should post to the microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs NG,

because SBS has a lot special features designed for SBS.

 

Best regards

Well - you definitely cannot use two SBS servers in one domain.

 

If you're going to use two SBS servers in the same office to serve two

different companies who merely share office space, you should split up the

LANs so they're not touching at all, even if they'll share the same Internet

connection. You will run into loads of problems with DNS and so forth

otherwise.

 

An example is below: note that you'll need at least two static public IP

addresses to do this.

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

*ISP's modem*

|

|-----Ethernet switch-----|

| |

(123.123.123.1) (123.123.123.2)

*RouterA* *RouterB*

| |

|----LANA----| |----LANB----|

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

However, if this is for one company, you should have only one SBS server and

anything else should run regular Windows server.

 

Please post SBS questions in microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs for the

most expert help.
