Hi,
We have Windows 2000 Std. server [SP2] with Active Directory installed. We
have around 150 users on network. We have only one AD server and it is too.
old. We are planning to install one more active directory server or domain
controller so that in case of one server crashes for any reason, another
server authenticates the users and provides information to Exchange 2000 std.
edition. Now, I have heard about different roles of the AD server and wanted
to check with someone that, If I install new server as an backup domain
controller and If I do not transfer or sieze any roles to the new AD server
which is backup domain controller, then in case of the failure of primary AD
server, will everything will work as it is? I will make that second server or
controller as an Global Catalouge. Can anyone guide me how should I protect
my AD failure [excluding backup methods] which needs time to restore for 24X7
operations?
This will be help me to plan for what to do next.
Thanks in advance.
