The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows 2003 Redundant DNS Server

Asked by maxalarie in Domain Name Service (DNS), Windows 2003 Server

Good day,

I am running a Domain with Small Business Server 2003, this server is also my dns server.  I am starting to have dns issues from time to time because (I think) my DC is quite  loaded.  Issues are mostly timeouts. I was able to fix the problem temporarily by adding openDNS as a second DNS server on my DHCP Scope options...    SO now.. sometimes, when i try to \\servername, opendns popsup a webpage..

So I would like to setup another DNS server on my domain. i have 2 other 2003 servers Sandard editions...

DO i have to create it locally by adding the necessary components via Add/Remove Programs, or I should see what i can do via AD?

Basically, what are the best practices?  I cannot have a 2nd DC because of Windows Small Business Servers limitations:
 - Only one computer in a domain can be running Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server.
- Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server must be the root of the Active Directory forest.
- Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server cannot trust any other domains.
- Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server is limited to 75 users or devices depending on which type of CAL.
- Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server is limited to 4GB of RAM (Random Access Memory).
- A Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server domain cannot have any child domains.
 -Terminal Services only operates in remote administration mode on the server running SBS 2003, and only two simultaneous RDP sessions are allowed. (Change from SBS 2000 policy)[5]
To remove the limits from SBS server and upgrade from Small Business Server to regular - - - - Windows Server, Exchange Server, SQL and ISA server versions there is a Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 Transition Pack.[2]
