System version: NethServer release 7.4.1708 (Final)
Kernel release: 3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.x86_64
Module: Active Directory
Hey support! ^^
The situation is as follow: After the Nethserver installation I have configured two NICs, one red that gets it’s IP from DHCP and one green that hands our IP addresses through it’s own DHCP. I’ve activated the Active Directory module on an IP within that local network with a result being that all computers (Windows) on that green network do not get their dns requests resolved.
What are the steps to get dns on the AD working? I already tried setting dns server manually as the Nethserver host and the AD host that was made by enabled the AD module.
Your configured DNS Server only resolves your internal names. For an external Name I think you have to put in a DNS-Server like google (8.8.8.8) at the network menu at DNS-Server tab.
As of default I believe it was the Nethserver host at 10.0.0.1 but I changed it to 10.0.0.3, which is the AD host. Both did not change a thing, although the Windows clients are pointing correctly to the dns that I configure.
To clarify any confusion, there are two ways of setting the DNS:
Through the Network page, I believe this is for the Nethserver it’s external network requests (this one is set to 8.8.8.8);
Through the DHCP page, I believe this is for the LAN network it’s internal network requests(this one is set to 10.0.0.3, and I have tried 10.0.0.1 as well)
So I pointed dns to 10.0.0.1 through Network -> Dns servers. Also left dns servers at DHCP -> Advanced empty. Released and renew through CMD. These are the results of the nslookup afterwards:
C:\Windows\System32>nslookup
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.0.0.1
