My lab setup:
I have a windows 2012 Hyper-V parent on which I installed three windows 2012 VMs with default configurations. After the setup, everything was good and the VMS were able to access the internet and parent. I did not check communication between VMs though. This is my lab setup and followed instructions from a Microsoft certification guide for SQL server 2012.
Next I renamed machine one as DC, and made following configuration changes after a restart-
- netsh interface ipv4 set address “Ethernet” static 10.10.10.10
- Configured Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) on computer DC
- Open the DNS console and create a primary reverse lookup zone for the subnet 10.10.10.x.
- Ensured that the zone is stored within AD DS and is replicated to all DNS servers running on domain controllers in the forest. My domain name is MD.com
Next I renamed machine two as SQLA, and made following configuration changes after a restart-
- Netsh interface ipv4 set address “Ethernet” static 10.10.10.20
- Netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers “Ethernet” static 10.10.10.10 primary
- netdom join SQLA /domain:MD.com
- after restart I am able to logon to SQLA as MD\Administrator
Repeated above steps for SQLB with its ipv address set to 10.10.10.30
After the setup all looks good and I am able to join logon SQLA and SQLB as domain admin.
My issue:
I lost access to internet through the parent. Also from SQLA I cannot ping SQLB or vice versa.
I like to be able to access internet from the VMS while on a private domain. I also want to have the connectivity between the VMs.
