Hello,
I’m looking for some advice on consolidating servers within our enterprise.
Currently I have 1 primary DC managing 1800 users with 400 possible
simultaneous logons. This server is hosting DNS, DHCP and IIS for the one
building which it is located.
I’m looking at putting another server in one of the middle schools. This
second server will add 600 additional users and 40 additional simultaneous
logons. I would like have both buildings on the same domain. And their is a
1GB link between the 2 buildings.
My question or questions are as follows.
1.What are the advantages/disadvantages of having 2 domains?
2. Ideally I would like to have 1 domain with a primary and secondary DC.
It is my impression that with pri. and sec. domain controllers running, it
one fails, the other will pick up. Is this correct?
3.With 1 domain and pri. And sec. controllers, will the closest server in
nanoseconds win out in authentication?
I’m ignorant…
Thanks
jason
