Primary Domain controller is failed
Hello all,
I could really use some assistance with this situation as I am not sure how to proceed and I do not want to make things worse.
This is actually a pretty simple setup……
We have two domain controllers both with DNS installed. Both are global catalogs.
If Primary Domain controller is failed(Temporary) , what is the impact below resources
1. Aditional Domain Controller
2. Client authentication
3. DNS query

USe nslookup, and enter 'server servername' so that you can then test dns lookup on other dns servers and not just the first one.
To check where fsmo roles are installed, run netdom query fsmo or use powershell : get-adforest | fl, get-addomain | fl to check where fsmo roles are.
As well as DCdiag, check Services.msc and check the following are running ok:
Active directory domain services
Netlogon
DNS
Group Policy client

2. Clients will try to authenticate to the unavailable DC. If they fail, they will authenticate to another DC. This is why you have two DCs.
3. Answered here: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29180754/DNS-is-not-resolving-when-Primary-dns-server-is-down.html
Also, you should configure a DC to point to the second DNS server and vice versa.
And configure both DNS servers in DHCP Scope Options.
