Domain controller Failover

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Our site has 2 domain controllers but we are looking to setup a
failover site incase of a disaster. We are looking at the possiblitiy
of loosing our primary and secondary domain controller and in that case
we would like to failover to a domain controller in a backup site in
another state. What would be the best setup for something like this as
far as windows server is concerned?

I know this is vague but heres a base over view of the topology. One
corporate office that does our VPN and everything else. So if a user
is at home and tries to jump on the VPN they will always be able to get
on but they might not be able to get to resources in our office
depending on if we are down. if this is the case we want it to
failover. Is this possible?

The problem is corporate doesnt run Windows so they are just sort our
authentication on VPN and then a passthrough. Any ideas?

Thanks - jon
