Hi,
We have a company name change occurring and I need to create a new forest with 2 new domains. Then migrate objects from the old domain to the new.
I have a few questions about the process:
I tried my hand at creating a new DC in a new forest on server core 2008R2 (on the same subnet as the current domain). All went well during the install but once completed I couldn't see the new forest in AD users and computers console. So how to proceed? Not sure. I suspect it's not as easy as I had suspected. So now I've removed the server core DC and want to start fresh.
Can someone give me some steps as to how to accomplish my goal? At this point I'd just like to get the new forest up and manageable and then tackle the migration.
Do I need to create a new VLAN for the new forest? If so should I make the new VLAN routeable to the rest of the network?
Do I need to create a new DHCP server for the new forest?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
M
