Need help with process for installation of DNS when establishing a child domain in AD forest using Windows Server 2012

Additional guidance is needed regarding process for configuring DNS and for configuring the server Network settings (IPv4 properties) for installing a child domain. For example, when installing the Root domain, it is recommended to install DNS when installing
the AD on the forest root. This ensures the proper records are added to DNS for the forest during DC promo. However, when installing the child domain, I'm unsure if a child-domain hosted DNS needs to be pre-installed prior to the child domain install and dcpromo
or included in the child domain install.
Second, there is conflicting guidance as to how to set IPV4 properties for the net interface when installing child-domain DNS. Should primary DNS address be 127.0.0.1 or the address of the Root domain DNS? or both?
Thanks

New deploy child domain certificate server didn't publish root trust certificate to the client

Child domain certificate didn't install into child domain workstation.

Certification Authority configuration to publish certificates in Active Directory of trusted domain
Any advise?
Thanks.

Hi,
>>New deploy child domain certificate server didn't publish root trust certificate to the client
Is this an enterprise root CA or standalone CA?
If it is an enterprise root CA, it will automatically use Group Policy to propagate its certificate to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store for all users and computers in the domain. If it is an standalone CA, we can configure GPO
to distribute the certificate.
Regarding how to use policy to distribute certificates, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Use Policy to Distribute Certificates
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772491.aspx
We can run command gpupdate/force to immediately update group policy and then we can refresh the certificates in certmgr.msc to see if the certificate will come up.
Besides, for certificate questions, we can also ask for suggestions in the following forum.

Hi,
Before going further, can we try another domain name to see what will happen?
Besides, if the issue persists, we can try installing a new child domain by using the GUI.

Install SSCM 2012 R2 on child domain

Hi,
Following is the infrastructure of my network
root domain: abc.co.uk
dc1.abc.co.uk - DC + DNS + DHCP on Server 2012
dc2.abc.co.uk - DC + DNS + DHCP on Server 2008 R2
child domain: college.abc.co.uk
dc1.college.abc.co.uk - DC + DNS on Server 2008 R2
dc2.college.abc.co.uk - DC + DNS on Server 2012
child domain: school.abc.co.uk
dc1.school.abc.co.uk - DC + DNS on Server 2008 R2
dc2.school.abc.co.uk - DC + DNS on Server 2012
mdt.school.abc.co.uk - Server 2008 R2
mssql1.school.abc.co.uk - SQL 2008 R2 on Server 2008 R2
sccm1.school.abc.co.uk - Server 2008 R2
Currently we have MDT + WDS running in one of the child domain school.abc.co.uk. I am looking to install SCCM 2012 R2 (sccm1.school.abc.co.uk) in this domain. This SCCM will only be used for this child domain. As a prerequisite I have to first create
a (1) system container & assign permissions for SCCM server on the container and (2) extend the active directory schema.
So do I perform these two tasks on both domain controllers for this child domain (school.abc.co.uk)
Do I need to do anything on the root domain/root domain controllers or on another child domain (college.abc.co.uk
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

You only need to create the system container the one time. Check the details here
http://sccmentor.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/sccm-2012-r2-step-by-step-installation-guide/
Nothing will need to be done in the other domains.
You may need to do some work on PXE Providers if you have MDT + WDS running in the environment on the same VLAN or phase that out.

Active Directory Domain Services Child Domains

I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771856(v=ws.10).aspx
When I select "Add Roles" I click on "Active Directory Domain Services (Installed)" the "Next>" button is not enabled and can not be selected.
Did I install ADDS wrong?
Is this not how you define Child Domains?
If I use the Command Line or Answer File Methods I get an error message at "ChildName".
Did I forget to install something about enabling Child Domains when installing ADDS?

Hi,
Did you try to create a child domain on the Domain Controller? It seems like that this Server is already a DC, with Active Directory Domain Services installed.
We don’t have to enable anything in the root domain for creating child domains/new trees, we just need to run
Dcpromo or Add Role on another server which is not a DC, and select the existing domain as its parent, then the child domain will be created.
In addition, please make the existing DC as the preferred DNS server on the new server.
I hope this helps.

Exchange 2010 unable to find objects in child domain via ESM

I am having a problem on Exchange 2010 which relates to mailboxes whose AD account is in a child domain in the AD forest.
We have two domains A & B in the forest. The site which hosts E2010 only has DCs from domain A (root domain). These DCs are set as Global Catalogues.
All Exchange servers (2 x CAS & 2 x Mailbox) installed in Domain A (primary site) can resolve domain B and performing nslookups for domain B on these server displays the DCs installed
in domain B at remote sites.
I am migrating some resource mailboxes with AD accounts in domain B and need to set them up as room mailboxes to enable the auto accept bookings feature.
After migrating the mailboxes via the EMS to set the mailbox as a room, below is the error I get:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>set-mailbox mtgrm1@domainB
-Type Room
The operation couldn't be performed because object 'mtgrm1@ domainB' couldn't be found on 'DC01.domainA.com'.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [Set-Mailbox], ManagementObjectNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 9E6F6A1,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.SetMailbox
I have also tried using only the alias and the object CN:
set-mailbox mtgrm1 -Type Room
set-mailbox –identity 'domainB/Sitename/ Users/MSX Resource Accounts/Conf MtgRm1 (Video)' -Type Room
but get the same error.
All employee mailboxes from Domain B have been migrated to Exchange 2010 from 2003 and are working with no problems.
I have confirmed domain B has been prepared for E2010 - In the Microsoft Exchange System Objects container in AD there is the global group Exchange Install Domain Servers.
Event ID 2080
Process MSEXCHANGEADTOPOLOGYSERVICE.EXE (PID=1864). Exchange Active Directory Provider has discovered the following servers with the following characteristics:
(Server name | Roles | Enabled | Reachability | Synchronized | GC capable | PDC | SACL right | Critical Data | Netlogon | OS Version)
In-site:
dc02.domainA.COM
CDG 1 7 7 1 0 1 1 7 1
DC01.domainA.com
CDG 1 7 7 1 0 1 1 7 1
Out-of-site:
DC03.domainA.COM
CDG 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
dc04.domainA.COM
CDG 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
Please note the Out of site DCs are for our Exchange failover site which is currently down due to the storms on the East Coast.
Does Exchange 2010 require a local DC for the second domain installed in the sites which host Exchange? If not, any advise on what else I can look at will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Parent child domain best practice

Currently we have multiple location, each location has its own AD and DNS, they are not connected to each other.
Mostly the user at these location do not login/access resources of the other location. The few user that needed to login/access resources at multiple location have one account per location. This was fine since we had very few user who
needed multiple account, but now with their number growing it is creating problems for many of the users.
We are planning to redo our AD infra structure by installing new AD's on windows 2012 R2 Servers. We would like to setup one parent domain and multiple child domain (one per location).
Users created on parent domain should be able to login/access resources from each location whereas user of a child domain should be able to only login/access resources at their location.
Can someone please recommend a best way to do this?
SKR

if you are planning on redoing your AD infra, do not create additional AD domains, but rather CONSOLIDATE what you already have into one AD forest with one AD domain. Create OUs to manage objects differently or allow different teams to have their own delegation,
and create AD sites/subnets to optimize replication and authentication.
To consolidate AD domains see:

Question about creating child domains "before" parent

Ok, this is most probably a noob question.
My company (A.com), has a DNS zone in a linux server with records pointing to different web pages, example: radio.a.com, www.a.com, webmail.a.com, etc..
For a specific service, I need an Active directory domain called: daas.A.com
Thing is, I don't have an AD domain A.com in place. So my question is:
Do I need to create an AD domain for A.com before creating the one that I need?
If I don't, and I just create the daas.A.com as a new forest, will I be able to add an A.com domain in the future as parent?
As per DNS records in the linux box, I guess I would only need a NS pointing to the DNS of the new domain, and an A record resolving that to an IP. or Something like that..
Thanks!

Yes, even if initially it is an empty root, otherwise the child domain will become the forest root.
So the A.com domain will need to duplicate those records that Linux currently hosts otherwise AD clients will start having name resolution issues. If you just need to stand up AD for one application then I would go ahead and standup the empty root, add the
child domain, install the service that needs AD and go from there. That is if you think at some point you will use the a.com domain.
Active Directory will actually create 2 zones (A.com and _msdcs.A.com)
Daas.A.com will have 1 dns zone daas.a.com and will also utilize the _msdcs.a.com
So I have been in environments which have had both a windows dns server and a Linux dns server, eventually after enough duplication of records in both areas and the pain points that caused, we have retired the Linux dns servers and just used the AD DNS servers
(with the exception of DNS servers that were internet facing which we kept on Linux) Primarily the ease of administration and the fact that AD and DNS are tightly coupled.

Manage client in parent domain from child domain

My site has a root domain (mydomain.net) and a parent domain (ent.mydomain.net).
My primary SCCM site is installed in ent.mydomain.net and is managing all my clients.
I have 4 DC's installed in mydomain.net that I would like to manage from my child domain (ent.mydomain.net).
It is my understanding that if the schema has been extended in the parent domain, and I manually install the client on the DC, it should be able to be managed from the child domain.
I have installed the client in the parent, but it cannot find the site in the child (I have not extended the schema yet). i know that the client will not be able to find the site until the system management container has been created and populated
(does not currently exist). I know that I can create the container, but how would it get populated with the correct site information.
If anyone has any experience with this kind of configuration, the help would be appreciated.
Thanks

i know that the client will not be able to find the site until the system management container has been created and populated (does not currently exist). I know that I can create the container, but how would it get populated with the
correct site information.
You could enable AD publishing to that domain, but site assignment is also a matter of site assignment boundary groups. You can also assign a client to a site manually though.

System Management in Child Domain

Hi
I have a forest with 2 domains (A and B) my SCCM 2012 R2 with SQL 2012 installed in root domain (Domain A), i installed a MP and DP in child domain.
when i go in Active Directory in root domain, System Management , i view my MP and DP in root domain and view the server MP child domain.
If i go to Active Directory in child domain, System Management, NOT view MP ?i delegate a permission with server i root domain?
My question: It's normal to not view MP in System Management in child domain?
Thanks

Yes. Clients use the global catalog for initial MP discovery so there's no need to publish anything to the child domain specifically.
Is the child domain geographically separated from the primary?

Child Domain Lync Installation

run enable-csadforest on root domain server. Any idea to do csadforest without install Lync deployment tools on root server?
check universal security group is added on root domain.
check child domain didn't replication the universal security group.
Run Enable-CsAdDomain -Domain chil.domain.com for enable child domain user to use Lync.
Any advise? how long time to replication the universal security group?
i will install Lync server into child domain and federation with office 365.
Thanks.

Hi,
Did you prepare schema successfully without issue?
You need to prepare the forest on a computer which joined to a domain as a member of the Enterprise Admins group for the forest root domain. You need to prepare the forest with the Lync Lync Server Deployment Wizard or the Lync server Management Shell cmdlets
directly. So you need to install the Lync deployment tools on one of the root server.
You are right, you must verify that global settings have been replicated before running domain preparation.
Please also login the child domain using the account which as a member of the Enterprise Admins group, the check if the replication happens or not.

ContentSubmitters AD group: root domain or child domain???

Hi
We have an empty root domain. Mailbox users & Exchange 2013 servers are in a child domain.
As per Microsoft's documentation; we want to create the "ContentSubmitters" group in AD for content index to work properly (article 2807668). However I do not know where to create it!!! The article doesn't address it.
Does it go on the root domain where default exchange groups reside OR OR OR OR OR does it go on child domain where exchange servers reside?????
Thanks

Hi,
Agree with Riaz, you need to create the ContentSubmitters group on the domain that Exchange server is installed using Active Directory Users and Computer (ADUC).
What's more, when you create the active directory security group called ContentSubmitters, follow the steps below to grant Admistrators and NetworkService full access to the group.
Right click the group -> Properties ->Security tab -> add those two groups -> give them full control to the group.
Here is a thread for your reference.

Migrate Users from a child domain to a root domain in different forest

Hello,
it supported to migrate users from child source doman to target root domain?
I established a trust, but i don't see child domain at ADMT installed on target domain DC. Source root domain is visible

You should not be needed to establish a trust as all domains within the same forest already trust each other - are you sure those domains belong to the same forest? You can find out using the following command:
nltest /DOMAIN_TRUSTS
If ADMT dosen't show a partiuclar domain in the dropdown list, you can/have to type the domain name manually.
