Re: Additional Domain Controller

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks Paul but i am still confused.Will you please give me a favor.I want
promotion of seconf DC in steps.


My 1st DC is configured and currently working as DC and it has its own
Global Catalog.Now i want to prepare second DC which real time replicate all
my users and GP.

1-What should be the name of second DC (must be same as 1st DC?)
2-What should be IP Address (same as 1st?)
3-when i done this then should 1st i configure Active Directory Integrated
DNS on 2nd DC?
4-will it automatically create GC on 2nd DC?

Thanks again Paul.
