Alright, sounds good,

Here's my first question. Server #2 and #3 are truly going to be placed
into production, eventually. Server #1 is not. I was just using server #1
for this test.

So, my question is, if I setup Sever #1 as the 2nd DC with DNS, as you said,
if once this test phase is complete, can i remove Server #1 from the
equation, and replace it with another server, and just setup that server as
we did with Server #1? Or will there be conflicts doing it that way?

I definitely agree and will setup 2 DC's, anything to help with failover, or
reducing IT time spent on fixing issues during production is a major plus.


My 2nd Question is,
Can I re-install the active directory service and fix the name of the
server? To something such as:

Server #2 (glv-dc-01) - primary AD/DC/DNS server
Server #1 (glv-dc-02) - secondary DC/DNS server
Server #3 (glv-mx-01) - exchange server

Because, I would rather fix the naming issues now, while these servers are
in their testing phase and not in production.

I will be working on this all this week, so I will be posting a lot, I thank
you both for all your help, and hope that I can complete this soon..

Thanks,
MIKE
