Adding a domain controller
1.)If I am adding an additional domain controller to the existing domain. Do I need to run forestprep and domainprep before upgrading it to the DC.
2.)Is there a way that I can make sure that particular users are logged on to a particular DC in the domain.
3.)In a domain with 3 DCs is it okay if I reboot one of the DC. Would that effect any of the users.

Hi life_j,
unless of course the new server is R2, then you have to run the adprep tools again from the second disk :) :) :) Evening NM

well, there you have it ^^^ :)
2) Again, it depends if they are all in the same site or not. Normally, in the same site, you can't.
3) If more than one DC is a Global Catalog and the server you reboot doesn't run a service that is only on that server (like Exchange), then no.
