Windows server question ?

[FTLN]

Hey guys,

I'm not really up to scratch when it comes to windows server, but I need to accomplish the following in my home lab :

- Currently i'm running an active directory on a domain controller and i have it configured as (example):

* ftln.com

- All users I create in active directory have the following as there user id :

* user1@fltn.com, user2@ftln.com, user3@ftln.com and so on and so on

What I need to add is a kind of subdomain on the same domain controller :

- user3@uk.fltn.com, user4@uk.ftln.com, user5@uk.ftln.com and so on ...

So the end result would give me two domain names

On the top ftln.com and underneath uk.ftln.com

I have managed to do this in DNS by creating a new forward and reverse lookup zone, by i'm not sure how to do it for my users and computers.

Thanks for any tips

I'm not sure if you can run two different domains off a single DC, at least that's not how we work at my job. You can indeed add an additional site in your DNS records on your root server so your additional servers are known in your domain, same way you add its subnet in your root domain. I usually work with one root server (which has its own virtual machines running a DC, antivirus, fileserver, etc) and one or more additional sites which are a member of my root domain.
If others know how to do this, please explain how

Thanks Asperatis, after a few hours googling last night it seems that your correct and another DC is needed. Thank god for virtualisation
