We are a single site with a Windows 2000 domain. We have 2 DC's - DC1 & DC2.
DC1 was the first one to be installed and has all the five FSMO roles
running on it.
We also made DC2 into a Global Catalog Server as Exchange 2003 (which we
have running on a 2003 member server) wouldn't run if DC1 went down..
Our MAIN concern is if DC1 fails, we would need DC2 to run on its own.
We tested this situation by shutting down DC1, leaving DC2 running.
When running on DC2, a number of our client machines were very slow and not
usable, but some of our client machines seemed to be running OK ??
What would we need to do to make sure DC2 can run all clients OK if DC1 goes
down.
Thanks
