I am currently managing computers distributed across 2 different AD domains. I shall call the 2 domains MEDIA and DATA. My workstation is a member of the MEDIA (192.168.10/24) domain, along with most of my coworkers.
The DATA 10.0.62.0/24) domain is in a remote data center. I have a valid administrator account in both directories.
There is a VPN in place that gives me free access to the remote domain.
I am using Windows management console (MMC) to manage computers in my local domain (MEDIA - 192.168.10.0/24). My question is this:
How is it possible to use the MMC from my workstation (on the MEDIA domain) to manage computers in the DATA domain?
net use \\computername\ipc$ /user:[domain]\[user with admin rights]
) or doing the old local users with the same credentials trick - though, in this case, it might be easier to change the local admin on your one computer to match the user name and password on all the other computers, assuming it's set to something uniform in the other domain, of course.
