It's an communications software that runs on a separate ip range for vlans and the devices that they use. But it has to have communications to ad and exchange. It's old and going away but it's still needed for awhile.

We have a secondary IP range listed on these boxes to communicate to an app. The Domain Controllers also have this secondary IP range on their virtual adapter. While this is present, it all works just fine. When you remove this secondary IP range from the DC’s virtual adapter, none of the guest machines continue working properly and if you reboot it takes like 20 mins for anything to happen while NLA just holds up everything. Eventually the server comes up but things like Exchange, SQL, DFS don’t work. All resolution internally is fine. If we remove the secondary IP range from an affected server, it immediately goes to domain network and most everything works. A reboot and we are back in business on that box. Should I split that secondary IP to a separate NIC across all of our boxes? I know its something do to with how NLA is finding the DC’s on that secondary range. I just don’t know if I am going to have the same problem with just adding another NIC? Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.com<http://www.acts360.com/> P.O.
