    • Windows 10 migration

      Due to a domain/DNS issue I have to create an entirely new domain (I'd rather not go into it). I have the new domain up and running, at least as far as AD is concerned. However, I copied a profile off the old domain, removed the machine from the old domain, rejoined to the new domain, logged in as the user and now that user (with admin rights) cannot do anything on the machine. No left click, right click, no keyboard shortcuts...NADDA!

      Any ideas?

      I can log in as local admin, domain admin, etc with no issues.

      Just a curiousity question. Is it possible to install ZT on VMWare servers? I have three vsphere servers and it would be nice to be able to connect to those via vsphere client but it is just a "want" more than a need.

      OK. Let me preface the next comment by Thanking you all for helping with this. 🙂

      I have access to 2 machines, both off-campus. What do you need from those machines to assist in this issue?

      I would assume that DNS only has a small role in the issue. I have both internal DNS servers set in ZT with FQDNs but I have 3 or 4 that cannot see mapped drives. using the FQDN.

      Would it make sense to map the drives using the ZT ip?

      Jeff

      DNS is completely your issue. There is no problem here except DNS.

      So then it has nothing to do with Internal domain vs external domain or it has exactly that to do with

      @Dashrender

      off campus

      Mailhost.wls.wels.net - 74.62.99.50
      wls-dc01.wls.wels.net - does not resolve

      On Campus

      mailhost.wls.wels.net - 172.16.0.14
      wls-dc01.wls.wels.net - 192.168.191.181 (ZT IP)

      So when you are off campus, what DNS server is your machine using?

      This depends on the user. If the ZT NIC doesn't have a static IP they are using their ISP.

      Did you change the order of authority for your network adapters? ZT needs to be first. This should make it's DNS servers first also. This way, your computer should always be using the DNS servers of your internal network, not of whatever location you happen to be at that time.

      Yes, ZT is always first.

      I will have access to two machines in about 30 minutes. One on campus and at least one off campus.

      I was and it was being reported that connections were timing out.

      I don't have access to the machines that were having the issues at this time to further troubleshoot.

      @adam.ierymenko

      It is quite odd. I have a few machines that are working without static DNS set for the ZeroTier NIC. But most mapped drives do not work unless I have static DNS set but then Exchange doesn't work.

      Jeff

      Does the FQDN that you use for Outlook/OWA exist the same on your internal and external networks? But first, is your internal domain name the same as your external one? i.e. Spit horizon?

      Yes, unfortunately, the domain was set up before I got here. wls.wels.net - I wanted to change it but knew it would be a huge undertaking and wasn't sure I wanted to do that in my first 4 months. I am thinking of redesigning the domain structure from the ground up this summer.

      The FQDN internal is wls-exchange.wls.wels.net and the external is mailhost.wls.wels.net

      Here is some weird shit.

      New install of ZT on machine off campus. No static IP on the ZT NIC. Mapped Drives work as well as Exchange. WTF!

      it's the round robin DNS thing.. aka you got lucky!

      I assumed form the statement that he changed no DNS settings.

      If that is the case, then it is NetBIOS over ZeroTier.
      If he changed the DNS , then yeah, a crapshoot.

      I have made no DNS changes since I was told to do FQDN names yesterday.

      I was referring to the client you just set up. did you change his ZeroTier adapter to have a DNS value? Not to changing server side DNS settings.

      Sorry - When I said no Static IP on the ZT NIC I meant didn't set static DNS.

      Good, then you are working as it is intended. You are resolving things by NetBIOS.

      DNS has nothing to do with it since you did not set an address.

      But shouldn't the other machines be working in the same fashion?

      I mean without the static DNS settings?

      Silly question. Could I just uninstall ZT from the exchange server and all my issues go away?

      @Dashrender said in ZeroTier Question:

      Ultimately, the simplest solution might be to completely rework your network as follows:

      Production network physical, only thing on this network is servers and printers, including DNS servers, configure non ZT NICs to not register with DNS - this is critical (though could break things like clustering)

      PC internal network, This network has PCs a DHCP server on it, DNS is something global, like 8.8.8.8

      Guest network, Guest PCs and a DHCP server, DNS is something global, like 8.8.8.8

      (really splitting the guest and PC internal is really more for show than anything)

      All business devices have ZT installed with the ZT network having DNS configured for Production DNS servers.

      The PC's would need to have their ZT IPs manually added to production DNS.

      How this works: The ZT PCs will have access to the Production network through ZT network, and will use that because the production network will use the ZT DNS servers. You'll never have to worry about IP issues because the only ones in DNS should be the ZT ones. Non ZT users will use global DNS and that will resolve to something on your firewall and your firewall should forward as needed internally.

      I think this may cause bigger issues as there are rules on the core switch which is on the ZT/LAN side to allow access to the printer, exchange server, and the DHCP/DNS server.

      I don't see how I can create a unique A record for the Public Network when it goes through the same DNS as the other two networks.

      You can't. That's why I mentioned having a different DNS server for that network.

      So I would be making an entirely separate network for the Student/Public network on the same internet pipe?

      Time for a dumb question... If we know that they have a URL that works on the Student/Guest side... why not just have them use that URL?

      This is what I have going on for now as https://wls-exchange.wls.wels.net/owa doesn't work off campus. So I have them go to that on campus and mailhost off campus.

      This just wraps you back around to either using the public DNS servers for the Public WiFi, or setting up a separate DNS server for that network.

      So I should just set in the Scope options 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4 as the DNS and see if mailhost works on the Student/Guest network?

      I now have a dumb question...

      Why if I go to the mailhost or wls-exchange address does it work on the Secured wireless but if a student is connected it doesn't? If both VLAN's use the same DNS shouldn't DNS resolve to the local IP before trying to go out to the ZT IP?
