Where to place my Domain Controller - 29.Jun.2007 9:47:49 AM

Hi

I have an ISA 2006 with 4 Interfaces :

1. External
2. DMZ - IIS servers
3. SQL - SQL 2005 servers
4. LAN - backup,management etc.

Right now all my servers are in a workgroup, and users are created manually on all servers, this is not optimal, so I want to use a Domain Controller for authentication and I also want a DFS server, so I can manage my fileservers better.

IIS and maybe SQL servers need access to the filesarver -> DFS -> SERVERX

Thanks
Felix

Hi

i would install the DC in the Internal Network, and then any machine that is located behind another Network Interface can communicate with the DC when you follow this article :

http://www.isaserver.org/articles/2004perimeterdomain.html

Make sure to make ISA Server a Domain Member.

HTH,
Tarek

Hi

If I want to use a DFS server on my DC, can I place the fileserver in one of the other segments?

Thanks
Felix

Hi

Yes I read the article, and will try it later, I was just not sure how to handle the DFS server, but if the AD works, so should the DFS.

Thanks
Felix
