Hello,
I am having root domain. [ site1 / Windows 2003 ]
Also having child domain. [ site 2 / Windows 2003 ]Goal :- Discard child domain and extend root domain in another site where child domain exists.
Question:- Is it possible to install additional DC + DNS in another site [ where already child domain exists ] without changing anything? [ I am considering that I need to join existing desktop's,laptop's to root domain. ]
Some details:-
At site where Schema master resides have 193.168.x range
Child domain site has 192.168.1.x range subnet
Both sites as of already connected by IPSec VPN.
