Neven1986 Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Hello, i have some questions regarding virtualization. Is it considered best practice, to have on one of DCs 2 virtual machines, one for DNS other for DHCP for example? Is that recommended at all in production enviroment? Thank you for answer :rolleyes: Neven Quote

Thank you for answer :rolleyes: Neven Hi there, I don't understand your question... You want know if you should separate DNS and DHCP on 2 different VIRTUAL machines? Let's say Vm1 = DNS Vm2 = DHCP. I don't understand when you write: "to have on one of DCs 2 VMs". I assume you have 2 physical DCs, and you want to install 1 VM on each one. Everything correct?

Neven1986 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 Yes, your assumption is correct. Sorry for bad explanation. Let's say I have two physical DCs, and on each one 1 VM. On one VM i have DNS running, and on other VM DHCP. is this good practice? Quote
ICTCity Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Your solution is correct technically speaking. But let's make a consideration: If one server (physical or virtual) fails, you will have a problem. So, my suggestion is: install DNS on one VM, install another DNS (as secondary) on the other VM hosted on the other server. Your clients will have in their cfg two IPs: IP_VM1 and IP_VM2. Of course under DNS settings. Now you have another problem, your DHCP server is not redounded. If you can, the best solution is: Install DHCP server role on both server, on the first one you create a pool, let's say: 10.0.0.100 - 10.0.0.150 and on the other server you will set 10.0.0.200 - 10.0.0.250. Doing this you are a bit more sure, because of in case of a problem on the first server, there's still the other one ready to go. Let me know.
