Do I do this to the primary DNS server as well?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have two Domin Controllers and one of the domain controller is running DNS and the other was succesfully replicating until this week. I am now getting Event ID 2087 NTDS Replication - DS RPC Client. I click on the backup DNS now and it says its not configured. I want this domain controller to also run DNS (as it was) in the case that the first Domain controller fails then the back domain controller will enable DNS management.<br />
<br />
Any detailed help on how to diagnose and resolve will be GREATLY appreciated

DNS Replication

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

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).
