By above excerpt it seems like, there is a problem with DNS.
There is no firewall in between it is a plain and simple setup.
Site A- RWDC /1.0.0.0/24 -- 2012R2 Server
Site B- RODC /192.168.0.0/24 -- 2008R2 Server
Cluster node can only reach to site B. Moment I make cluster node reachable to RWDC, it works however that doesn't serve the main purpose of the environment.
In Netmon trace as well I see the difference in DNS query used for VCO netname.
I believe for this setup we do not need pure 2012R2 DC environment.
Any help would be appreciated, If any one able to set it up in a right way.
Followed this article still to create the environment.
