Can I set up two Active Directory domains in one network?

Dear Jasper torres

The answer is yes, you can set up two Active Directory Domains in one physical network. Since both the AD domains have separate name spaces, and you want users to be able to log onto both the domains, then you need to create two one way trusts. Domain A trusts Domain B "one way trust", Domain B trusts Domain A "one way trust". This depends on what you are willing to do, this case if you need all the users to log onto both the AD domains. If this is not your case, please give us more details of what you want to do.

Hope this may help you.

Best of luck
