Where do you check that it is DNS integrated? Also when I tried to add DNS through manage server there was warning that if AD it should have DNS installed when setting up AD.

I just got second AD server for our domain as not going down has become more critical. When I installed first AD it automatically installed DNS as part of AD Wizard. I expected this to happen when adding second AD. Wizard just added AD as second to existing domain but never did DNS intall. For this to be truly redundant AD server do I need to go back and install DNS on second server? If so what are steps and precautions? Thanks

Should 2nd AD also have DNS

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).
