We have two locations in our company and two different networks which are connected together. I am on 192.168.1.1 and Windows 2008 server is on 192.168.2.1 - I can see everything on .2.1, I can ping it etc.. I would like to know if it is possible to join a domain on .2.1 - where Windows 2008 server is from my location .1.1. I always get this message: I have around 15 desktop computers that I have to join with domain and domain server is a few kilometers away. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I use the default snmp service to monitor my Windows servers. Everything has been working correctly until we started using Win2008 R2 servers. For some reason, it appears that the Windows snmp service is reporting incorrect information for all of the attached iSCSI drives. The physical memory, virtual memory, and locally attached drives are still reporting correctly. I tried googling for more information, but this appears to be a rather unpopular problem. However, I have been able to narrow the problem to the server itself. I ran an snmpwalk from the monitoring server, and verified that the Win2008 system is sending wrong data. I have included the snmp data in …

Hi everyone! I'm am unfortunately a person with a small amount of knowledge in a small town. A couple doctor's offices have asked me to help with keeping the networks and workstations operational. The previous admin looks like he had less experience than I do. So please forgive any really simple or stupid questions I may have. A long time ago I managed my own network at my company which had about 25 workstations and 3 servers. Because of engineers who thought they knew what they were doing they would constantly change a setting or mess up their workstation and I'd spend hours trying to undo what they had done I decided to Ghost every machine on a weekend. This worked …

Hi All, I have to create a server 2008 image with some changes like naming network interfaces to LAN, LAN1,LAN2 etc. I installed server 2008 on a machine and made necessary changes(renaming interfaces) and created the Image.

Problem: The network interfaces in new image doesn't have names as LAN,LAN1 ,LAN2 etc. And it gives an error when i try to manually rename to LAN,LAN1 etc saying "the name already exists". But the names are not shown in Network configuration window. Any Help Is Much Appropriated. Thanks in advance. Regards, Bharath
