Windows 2003 domain unification

JuneC — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 03:44:38 +0000

Hi,

I recently have 3 domains, contouso.com, one.contouso.com, and two.contouso.com. The thing is, they were created separately and all are parent domains. How do I join the two other domains so that they will become child domains of the contouso.com. All three domains already have existing clients and services running independely from the other, but they are conected thru trust relationship, non-transitive, external.

Also, if you have the best way on how to change a domain name, say, from one.contouso.com to go.contouso.com without negative effects.

Computer Browser Full Domain

I’m having issues across our domain of the Computer Browser service stopping. I can [re]start the service and reboot the server only to have it occur again. My thoughts are there is a rouge device on the network acting as the browser as there are constant elections taking place on the servers. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Is there a setting to limit login attempts?

Scl2 — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:15:15 +0000

For three days we have had someone trying to hack into our system using random names and passwords. The attempt with each name lasts for 30 minutes then the name changes. No IP address shows up so I can’t block it or a block of IP addresses. Is there a way I can close the login off after say five unsuccessful attempts? Also, since the names change, will the attempt just change to the next name after every five attempts?

Win 2008 Server DC in a Win 2003 Domain

BigMike10 — Fri, 02 May 2008 13:43:20 +0000

I have a domain win 4 branch office. All DC’s are W2K3 and I’m running Exchange 2003. All member servers are W2K3. I need to replace a branch office DC (W2K3). I have no plans to replace any other DC’s at this time. Question: is it safe to replace the branch office DC with a 2008 Server without making any other changes/upgrades to the domain. Server will be running AD, DNS, DHCP, WINS.
