Re: Number of GC servers

Ok... that sounds good, as my main GC is now giving some strange errors
after a controlled power-down last night, and I've several client
(server class) machines that are giving very strange behaviours:

- Users that were admins before, now don't get admin rights
- Accessing the domain via "\\domain" no longer works internally (but
DNS is all ok)

DCDIAG checks out as all ok, but I now get the below message in the GCs
event log:

So - next question - how do I make my second DC a GC as well
(DCpromo??). I guess I need to update DNS (its a private/controlled
non-MS DNS system), and add A records for the new gc. What else should
I add? Does the original GC need to be 100% operational first ?
