I'm fooling around with a solution that integrates with DHCP and active directory. One of these two is completely fucked up and I need to reconfigure/reinstall them but I don't understand either. Anyone know a good source for learning how to work these things?
Speak english FFS.
a little knowledge is a dangerous thing

Well would anyone know why a VM would be able to log into a domain if I give it a static IP but can't if told to obtain automatically from DNS?
Hmm... Have you considered montilling your traxoline?
From Canada too?
I heard there was a tribute thread to Canadians thread on here. Just checking in fellow canucks.

If this is on an XP machine, I've had problems in the past with weird issues regarding DNS when an IP is obtained via DHCP. Static assignment fixes it, but I've never figured out the root cause.
On a side note, what are you trying to accomplish integrating AD with DNS? Is it some sort of corportate resolution method for LDAP?
I live in MAINE!!!... so... well, yes, essentially....Quote:

So you're having problems authenticating on a machine when u use a DHCP obtained address and no problems when u use a static? I'm assuming you're using the static address of the A record you have in DNS for it? Are you using DDNS (VM updates DNS when it gets an address? Check ur tcp/ip settings).
CANADA FUCKING RULES ldo.
What exactly should I be checking in the TCP/IP settings? I've tried leaving everything automatic, providing the gateway and DNS and DNS backup servers, etc.Quote:

ddns is when ur machine updates DNS with its new obtained ip.
so did i understand it correctly? when u use a static address (is this static address what DNS is set to for this machine?) it works, and when you don't use a static address (DHCP obtained) it fails?
