Hi<br />
<br />
A client of mine has two sites each with a 10 SDSL uplink<br />
<br />
Up till now they only had one (DC + DNS) server<br />
<br />
Many complained about disconnections or slow authentication from the remote site<br />
<br />
I therefore promoted a server to DC on the remote site; this went well<br />
<br />
I also activated DNS server on this new DC.<br />
<br />
Some workstations are statically IP'd while others get their IP¨address from a DHCP server.<br />
<br />
Must I configure the remote PCs so that they use the local DC as their primary DNS or will this happen naturally ?<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

AD access &amp; DNS

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
