My goal is to have two AD controllers in one office for full instant domain redundancy
I have installed two AD Controllers, with default DNS settings and WINS
DHCP assigns clients primary DNS Server to one DC, and secondary DNS to another DC
All works well with two controllers, they both replicate AD between them instantly
However
When you unplug one of the Controllers, client's WIndows XP freezes and if you try to access files on either of two servers, it says Error: No DC able to process your request or rather similar. If you unplug the other DC controller instead of first one, it may work fine and workstations do not see any difference. Results vary from time to time when i was testing
My quesiton is
Can anyone point me to some article maybe which describes in details the PROPER way of coniguring both domain controllers in one office where if one Controller dies, workstations continue their operations normally.
