If DC goes down, how clients will automatically go to ADC
Hi All,
I have a DC environment in which i am also running an AD integrated DNS.
Just to add redundancy i added one more ADC in the current environment and joined it to the existing domain while running the setup of dcpromo. Active directry database on the DC was successfully replicated on the ADC and i can see all the objects in ADC. Then i installed DNS on ADC, and it also gets synchronized with the master DNS at DC, getting all the DNS records from there.
Now, i am confused that how can i add redundancy at client end. If DC goes down, how clients will automatically go to ADC.

ok fine.........now I have 2 doubt.........first as I mentioned in my question i have installed DNS on another DC, and it also gets synchronized with the master DNS at DC, getting all the DNS records from there.so no need to do more with dns on another dc.
second thing how clients will get IP Address as DHCP is configured on First DC.

Utilize two DHCP servers with their own scopes making sure the scopes do not overlap in regards to the IPs they hand out. So, SERVER1 might hand out 172.17.70.0/24 addresses while SERVER2 might hand out 172.17.30.0/24 addresses.
If you do go with another DHCP server you can also go with a 80/20 or 70/30 split

How long are your leases set for right now? If it is the default of 8 then clients have some time before you have to worry about that.
Yes with AD integrated DNS the info gets replicated
Thanks

In case of primary DC down, you will need to transfer FMSO roles to newly added DC.

I am agree with u to make the new dc a gcs...so if main(first) dc will be down..clients will go automatically to another DC...
