Adding a secondary backup DNS in a SBS domain?

Asked by queens2007 in SBS Small Business Server

Hi there.

I am not overly experienced with SBS server domains, although I have worked with DNS in a normal server 2003 environment.
My question is however, I need to install a backup DNS server on a member server of the SBS 2003 domain.
I know that SBS2003 cannot have a secondary DC, so I was wondering how I would go by installing a secondary DNS for backup purposes in this scenario?

The DNS will have to be set up on a server 2003 R2 which is not a DC.
How will this impact my currently installed DNS?
Will I have to manually transfer the zone data or can data be replicated normally?
Can the zone be named the same as the primary zone on the SBS DC server?Start Free Trial
