I have a zone fordomain myd1.local in DNS server and I wanted to add new zone for domain myd2.local but I am not sure how.Both should be integrated with AD.Can someone help me?

Hello,on the dns server management console, add new forward lookup zone, and follow the promptIsaac Oben MCITP:EA, MCSE

Hello, In conjunction to Issac, please also see this KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323445 Start the DNS snap-in. To do this, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS. Click the DNS Server object for your server in the left pane of the console, and then expand the server object to expand the tree. Right-click Forward Lookup Zones, and then click New Zone. The New Zone Wizard starts. Click Next to continue. Thanks http://technetfaqs.wordpress.com

I have created new domain myd2.local and it has appeared in Forward Lookup Zones in DNS.But, domain didn't appeared in AD and I don't see it in forest.What is the problem?

please post a complete ipconfig /all from both domain controllersIsaac Oben MCITP:EA, MCSE

I just have one server, that is one domain controller.

Hello,Can you clarify your question more. If I understand properly, your followup questions says you have only one domain controller and you created a domain but the domain is not found in AD and youcan't see it in the forest?In that case, how did you create the new domain myd2.local? Did you run dcpromo, did you have dns installed on the server as well?On the server please run at command prompt, dcdiag /v and post to the forumIsaac Oben MCITP:EA, MCSE

Hello moxol,No, It is not possible. You can only have one domain controller per server. If you need to add a second domain myd2.local, then you will need an additional server for that purpose. The option you get to delete domain myd1.local is correct. if you need to promote the current server to be myd2.local, then you MUST first remove/delete myd1.local. I am not sure if you are having a test or production environmet...If this is a test network, I will suggest you download and install MS virtual PC where you can insatll more than one OS and achieve your purpose. But if this is production, then you will need to buy an addittional hardware or you can make use of the w2k8 virtualization feature.Hope this helps,Isaac Oben MCITP:EA, MCSE

I am just testing.I am using Vmware.Is it possible make subdomain instead of new domain?

Yes, it is possible to create subdomain in the same forest instead of a separate domain on a different forest.Isaac Oben MCITP:EA, MCSE

My idea was to create separate domain in same forest, not in different forest.Is it the same process (New Zone) for creating subdomain?

Hello Moxol,To create a subdomain for your myd1.local forest, add a new server and then configure a fix IP and make Pri DNS as the myd1.local IP. The run dcpromo and follow prompt..For example myd1.local is first domain and myd2.myd1.local will be the subdomain.Isaac Oben MCITP:EA, MCSE

OK, thank you.
