Adding second domain controller (windows 2003 server)

Asked by saisha in Active Directory, Windows 2003 Server, Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server

Hi All,

I have a domain which has only one domain controller with Windows 2003 server, standard edition. I am planning to add another domain controller for redundancy purpose. The second server has windows 2003 ENTERPRISE edition. I have already join this server to the domain as a stand alone server. Now I want to run the Manage Server roles wizard to make it a domain controller, will it work? Is it doable?

Also, do I need to install DNS services on the second domain controller to be before I make it a domain controller? This is my first time doing it. I will appreciate it if some one can give me step sequence so I don't mess it up.

I did do some research on the web and somewhere I found that it is mandatory to install DNS first on the domain controller to be, before I upgrade it to DC.
