Adding a second DC in 2003 server and replication

Hi
When I add another DC to my domain Will the replica of AD include replication of IIS as we use this for our intranet. It is essential really that if the main server goes down the other DC will keep the Intranet running. All the files are stored on a NAS server so we wont lose access to them.

You can create a NLB cluster that will do this. See the following link: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21309401/NLB-Windows-2003-IIS.html

There is also some info here from MS: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/0faa454f-abde-4cc9-93c1-57509ff9af6a.mspx

This is also an application from MS that will allow you to automatically replicate and give redundancy to web sites: http://www.microsoft.com/applicationcenter/

It might be easier to use something like the IIS Migration Tool to get a copy of the site setup on the second server. I forgot all about Network Load Balancing, but that seems like quite a good way to go with it.
