We have a configuration when 2 CMS 2002 servers share the same
database: internal (read-write) and external (read-only). Both are on
the domain.

Then we wanted to take the external server off domain and use local
accounts instead.  But we had problems with this approach. Once the
external server was removed from the domain the CMS admin tools (DCA,
SCA) stopped "seeing" it and thus the external server stopped working.

I know that CMS can use either local or domain accounts, but looks
like it can't combine both.
Or may be it can and I'm just doing something wrong...

Hi Leo,

you are right: if the machine is not in the domain this machine cannot use
domain accounts.
The MCMS system account would have to be a local machine account.
Same for guest account.
You also have to use a local machine account for the user running the DCA.
This means that you need to use SQL authentication to connect to a remote
SQL server.

Cheers,
Stefan

Stefan,

Do I understand correctly, that I cannot have 2 CMS servers -- one
internal in the domain and one external outside of domain -- share the
same instance of CMS repository ?

Hi Leo,

sure that will work.
But on the machine not in the domain you need to use local accounts for
everything.
And SQL auth to connect to a remote SQL server.

Cheers,
Stefan
