I have added an 2nd domain controller to a 2003 domain.
DC1 (original domain controller)
DC2 ( additional domain controller)
On both domain controllers I can see the Active directory information
being replicated both ways, so far so good. If I shutdown DC1, I am no
longer able to view/edit active directory on DC2. I have enabled Global
Catalog on DC2 via the NTDS settings.
Error message on DC2
Naming information cannot be located because:
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
I want DC2 to have a fully functioning version of active directory in
case DC1 fails.
