You will need to setup a trust relationship with their domain, so you will
not have to manage accounts for your users on both domains.

Subject: [windows2000] Pointing to a secondary WINS server, outside of
our network


I work for an agency that is a part of a larger group.  However, we are
separate, both in function and physically.  For the most part we are
separate from them.  Since our function is unique and due to the fact that
we have to satisfy funding requirements that are separate from the larger
organization, we have separate things like our own network, etc.

But, we're still a part of the larger organization, which also means that
our payroll comes through them.  They use a product called Kronos, for
clocking in and out.  In our case, we used a web browser in order to clock
in and out.

Well, they have changed the means by which this authentication occurs, and
now we have to have an account on their network (which we never have needed
before).  I just spoke with some of their network techs and they told us
that we have to have both a Novell NetWare and Citrix account.  Furthermore,
they said that we need to add their WINS server to our Windows 2000 servers,
in order to make it possible for Kronos to authenticate us.

I don't know how that is going to work.  How do we point to a server that is
not on our network, and make it an auxiliary WINS server?  And what about
our own network and all of our external customers, who do not have accounts
on their system and never will (they are not employees of this
organization).

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you
know, in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to
scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints &
how to overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more
