Hi all,
I'm having this issue that is driving me nuts so I'm at wits end here and got to ask the pros.
I have a parent domain and a child domain. The child domain is located over a VPN tunnel (Sonicwall 4060) at a secure co-location. The issue is in network places the domains dont see each other, yet if I do a \\servername I can browse from each. There aretwo DCs in each location and are all running Server 2008 R2. In DNS, the zone shows the parent and child domains and DNS works OK. GPUPDATE completes successfully and from what I can see there are no communication errors in the event logs having to do with any type of AD services or connections from parent to child.
So, what I did was runs WINS and I can now see all the records on each WINS server at each domain within WINS. I also made sure that the domain admin account was part of the enterprise admins group, I disabled my antivirus,windows firewall and made sure the VPN tunnel from site to site has the box check for Allow NetBIOS name resolution. WINS has been running for two days now with no errors and the list is populated with machines in both domains, but still no good.
Anyone have any idea why this wont work?? Id greatly appreciate the help..
Ricky.
