hi, i have installed a virtual server 2008 r2 on host machine having server 2008 r2. i installed two NIC's one for host and one for virtual network and i gave to bothe NIC's different ip addresses like 192.168.2.22 and 192.168.2.21 both machines are ping with each other and with client having windows 7(not virtual). when i tried to join client win 7 to virtual server it asks for user namr and password but hangs on taking too much time. I think there is problem in Ip addressing. please help me how to assign IP's in virtual environment.

If tis is the case then a DC should not be multihomed: It should use one IP address and should have only one NIC card enabled (All other NIC should be disabled). Ace Fekay prepared a good article about that: http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/acefekay/archive/2009/08/03/multihomed-dcs-with-dns-rras-and-or-pppoe-adapters.aspx Please remove the second NIC. Once done, run ipconfig /registerdns and restart netlogon service on your DC. Also, go to your DNS zone and remove all obsolete records for your DC manually. For the client computer, make it point to your DC as primary DNS server. Once done, check again. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
