Hi,

I have two windows 2003 domain controllers, both are global catalogs. I
think that I need to perform one additional step in order to make sure
that
in case DC1 fails (which holds all the FSMO roles) DC2 take its place
and
that it will be transparent to the users. What am I missing?

Thanks in advace.
