Boris-

AD is designed to and should have multiple domain controllers. To spin up
additional DCs, build a box in a workgroup, and then go start>run>dcpromo
and follow the wizard.

As far as the samba files, I'm not sure what you mean.

Thanks,

Subject: [ActiveDir] Additional domain controller

Hello everybody,

I have two questions:
In a network with one domain controller (windows 2003) I want to add an
additional domain controller (windows 2003) in order to replicate everything

on the primary DC. Is this possible and a good idea? Can two domain
controllers work parallel and replicate each other (something like a
cluster)? After adding additional domain controller will it take the role of

the primary if the primary fails? I am more into linux so the windows server

concepts are not very clear to me.

And something else: I have a samba on a linux server which reads user
permissions from the domain controller with winbind. Is there a way I can
migrate the samba files on the additional domain controller including
permissions?

I`ll appreciate every answer. Thank in advance.
