adding a new subnet to our network.

[chrism]

We are trying to connect a new building to our main office via a private T1
metro line. This will be on a different subnet than our main network, so I
need to know how to get this co-location onto our main Active Directory
domain. Also, how would DHCP be handled, DNS, etc?

thanks !!

will you have a separate domain controller in that building or will you use
the domain controllers from the main office?

We want to use all the boxes that run the network services that are located
in the main building.

Thank you.

Add a new subnet and associate it with the existing site (if you have only
one site is not mandatory). Workstations should point to the DNS servers
from the main office (probably the domain controllers). And for the DHCP
part you'll need a DHCP relay (can be a router) in the new site that will
forward all the dhcp requests to a DHCP server from the main site (the DHCP
should have a scope configured for the new building).
