It’ll be bad if either is SBS. Otherwise fine – except for NetBIOS collisions which MAY be bad depending on your applications.

Should be fine. We have multiple forests on routable segments. If you don't build a trust, they wont even see each other except maybe through DNS depending how you set that up From: Jorge Romero <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: "Active Directory Admin Issues" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: 05/02/2011 12:45 PM Subject: RE: Have two Forest on two completelly routable Network Segments is this possibly?? ________________________________ Hi Andrew, thanks for the reply. The risk that I was talking was related to cause some strange behaviour or a damage to our Production Forest. Due that both network segments are fully routable, I dont know if meanwhile the creation of the New forest could cause some damage to the production Forest. I know that the trust relationship between forests are not enabled by default, so logically this two forest are separated, but due that the network segments can fully see the other, that is my concern. What do you think about that?? ________________________________ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Have two Forest on two completelly routable Network Segments is this possibly?? Date: Mon, 2 May 2011 16:32:20 +0000 What risks are you afraid of? Firewalls would only be necessary if you think one network might get compromised and it would expose the other. Otherwise I don’t see why there would be any issue in what you are trying to do. Andrew From: Jorge Romero [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 02, 2011 9:23 AM To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: Have two Forest on two completelly routable Network Segments is this possibly?? Hi all!! I have a doubt that I decide to ask here in order to see if someone can sheed some light on this. The question is: Can I have two AD Forest on two Completelly Routable Network Segments? I mean, actually I have One Forest on the network segment A. I want to add a second Forest on a network segment B. Networks Segments A and B are completelly routable each other, there is no firewall blocking between segments A and B. Basically this is the doubt. Could this be done without some risk?? The New forest is for testing pourposes only.
