We team everything. It seems stupid not too. Use fault tolerance only (as opposed to load balancing) and you've got additional resilliency. FT works fine with different paths, e.g. different switches.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but on a similar note - whats the
downside for installing DCs with Adapter Teaming?

All I know is that when adapter teaming is enabled, setting up WINS
service will pops and error message (which can be ignored)...but
anything else? I've always been a firm believer of one nic and no
teaming...

Any comments?


Thank you and have a splendid day!

In the year 2006.. I hope we are still not making host file entries on
servers and workstations....  :-)

No issues, if you...



Go to the TCP/IP settings of the backup network card, click advanced,
goto the DNS tab and untick register the connection in DNS.

Hi,

     First posting to this list but I've lurked quite a while and I've

been very impressed by the quality of replies by the gurus.

My question is regarding the advisability of having multihomed DCs.
Basically I want
to run backups over a separate GbE and as my servers have dual inbuilt

NICs this seems an obvious route to take. I know there are some issues

with DNS (I have a DNS integrated AD).

Would this cause replication problems, etc ?

Any other "gotchas" ?



                        Many Thanks,
