OK well with active directory replication we can join the domain of one server with another server in a different location and Active directory automatically sets up on the secondary server to allow users to log into the system. Everything works perfect on the secondary server, users can logon and work no problem.
The issue is when the server in the primary location is turned off the users at the secondary location can no longer log in even through active directory is now set up on the secondary server as well. Is there anything we can do to fix this so that the users at the secondary location can still work if the primary server is down?
Two things I'd ensure:
(a) DNS is working well (installed and "Active-Directory integrated" on both servers; the client computers are able to resolve the DNS domain name even if the first DC is down
(b) the second Domain Controller is a Global Catalog server (if you only have one domain, there's no problem with that)
cheers,
