About this Hands-on Lab

In this hands-on lab, you will learn how to build trust — trust between two servers in two different forests, that is! To do so, you will first create the environment, and then confirm its DNS settings.

Learning Objectives

Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:

Configure DNS for the New-VM Environment

Validate and configure the environment for New-VM in order to create the needed trust between corp.sandynetworking01.com and dev.sandynetworking01.com:

  1. Confirm or create a dev.sandynetworking01.com forest.
  2. Configure DNS to be able to access corp.sandynetworking01.com.
Create a Trust Between the Servers
  1. On the New-VM server, create a trust for corp.sandynetworking01.com with the following settings:
    • Forest trust
    • Two-way
    • This domain only
    • Forest-wide authentication
  2. On the Main-VM server, repeat all the previous steps to configure DNS and create a trust for dev.sandynetworking01.com.
  3. Confirm the trust was established successfully between the two servers in their separate forests.
