In a single domain there are no additional PAS replications. Each DC has a
full set of attributes and is already replicating everything anyway.
Multiple domains environments is where additional replication occurs.

There is one negative to have multiple GC's in the same location, and that
is
replication traffic. However, I have 2 GC's in my main office, and have
not
noticed anything major. I sleep better knowing that my GC is backed up,
especially since we did some custom schema modifications.
To make the other DC a GC...DO NOT dcpromo. Go to Active Directory Sites
&
Services, select the DC you want to make a Global Catalog..go to it's NTDS
settings, right click, properties, put a check mark in Global Catalog.
Once
there, it will automatically replicate with your other DC.
As for your other errors...that does sound like a DNS problem. When you
do
a nslookup and type the name of your domain controller, what response do
you
get??
I am also assuming your other DC has DNS running as well??

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 ?
