Hi conrad,

I'm puzzle how to confirgure my second DC.

should i place it under the child domain of my root domain
(abc.com)

My orgainstaion is very small only about 50 user. I don't think it is
necessary to have another domain tree.

I 'm just wonder If my root doamin die off then what will happen to those
child domain under it.

Can my worksation still be able to log on if I initially configure all
workstation to log on to the root domain.
