DNS for second domain controller

Lordhowe — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 23:10:31 +0000

Hi all,

I am planning to install a second domain controller to our main corporate network. There are currently two DC’s in place; one is the primary DC, which is a physical server, and the other is the secondary DC which is virtual. My question is about DNS. I understand that when I add a new DC to the group, the Active Directory data etc. should replicate on it’s own. What about DNS? Do I have to add DNS as a new role to the server (it’s already an installed component), or will it replicate automatically as well? If that isn’t clear, please let me know and I’ll see if I can clarify a bit.

Thanks, Lordhowe

Inter-site replication generation

WindowsServerATE — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 14:21:07 +0000

Say I have 2 sites A and B.

-In site A DC1

-In site B DC2

Active directory has automatically generated NTDS KCC between DC2 and DC1. After installing DC3 in site B, there is no inter-site replication connection that is automatically generated with DC1. There is only an intra-connection that gets created automatically with DC2.

How come an inter-site replication is not automatically generated between DC1 and DC3?

What should I do to get that replication connection automatically created?

The DC2 is meant to be demoted soon. Would DC3 get its inter-site replication with DC1 at that point?

If I demote DC2 I would have site B totally isolated with no replication connection with site A. Therefore if I should create a replication connection between DC1 and DC3, would my NTDS KCC automatically generate?

How do you view replication properties for AD partitions and DCs?

Does anyone know why my Active Directory Accounts are locked out on first log0n, after a user has been prompted to create a new password as part of Group Policy? If so, do you know how to resolve the problem? I have it set to lock out after 5 failed logons, but it’s doing in on the first try.
