how to create additional DC (win2003)Currently I have 1 domain controller (win2003)
I want to add 1 more domain controller to improve the availability and reliability of my network service (eg like BDC in nt4). My questions are : 1. How to create additional domain controller in 1 domain site ? 2. Do I need re create / replicate users and all user's profile in new DC ? 3. If 1 DC is fail, does 2nd DC automaticly handle user's login request ? please help... Thanks.

My DC is stable enough because my server is RAID 5 and of course I know to use dcpromo to add DC, but I am still worry to implement in production environment. I built testing environtment, I have 2 DC, let say DC1 & DC2. My questions are: 1. If I add new users , let say user1, user2, Do I need add them in DC1 and DC2 ? or there is mechanishm to sync between DC1 & DC2 ? 2. If 20 users login at the same time, Will the loads be shared between DC1 and DC2 (eg. 10 users go to DC1 and 10 users go to DC2) ? 3. If some pc workstations join to the domain, will all DCs be updated automaticly ? Sorry Mike, too many questions to you ... Thanks.
