Adding additonal Domain controler

Hi,

I am going to add additonal domain controller ( one domain controller already  exist on same lAN network) ...earlier use to use as file server added to existing domain,  On my File server i have SQL 2005 installed with attach  database.

Question is :

1.  Will  it effect SQL2005 if i start to setup dcpromo to add this server as - additional domain server to existing ?
     If - Yes, do i have to Un-instal SQL and re-installed again when this server is added as additional domain ?

2.  Do I have change from Domain to workgroup before adding this File server as additonal domain ?

3.  After sucessfully finishing dcpromo....how do i transfer  User , groups and policies to this additional Domain ?

Thanks

Hi adding an additional DC will not affect your network, all the users are in the AD Directory so you will not have to copy them over,

Adding a DC will not affect any operation. No users or groups need to be copied or moved because additional copy will be created by DC replication service so that each DC will has a copy of Active Directory, which is the point of adding additional DC..

However, if you are running Exchange, there's a setting called Global Catalog.
