Hi nicost,
If I run ucr search forwarder nameserver I get a list of name servers and dns forwarders and one of them (dig @$(ucr get nameserver1) +short) works fine.
Please note that my MS-AD DC IP is not specificied in either /etc/resolv.conf or as dns/forwarders but my parent domain DC’s DNS IP is in the name server config(/etc/resolv.conf).
I have tried to replicate this on my local laptop using Oracle virtual box and same topology but it works fine there but on VMWare on our test environment it is not working.
To iterate my scenario is as follows
There are two MS AD Domain Controller’s (one DC for parent domain with DNS server and another DC for child domain without DNS server.Child DC uses parent DC’s DNS server).
Now UCS Active Directory Connection is able to resolve parent domain DC but not child domain DC.So in the connection if I enter DNS Server IP and use the username and password of the user in the parent domain then it is able to retrieve AD DC domain information and synchronise user accounts.
But if I enter IP address of child domain controller(which is not running DNS server but using parent DC DNS server) then UCS is not able to connect to it.
How can check whether it is a DNS issue or a network issue or something else?
Please note that from UCS server I am able to ping and telnet to child DC IP address but UCS is failing while issuing dig command.
Regards,
Nitin
