Hello All,
I am running two win2k3 AD with GPOs deployed to XP machines. I enabled
folder redirection as well as other shares that are needed by the client.
Now, suppose the first AD failed, I have the second server as a backup AD
but all the shares would be lost to the clients from the first server going
down. For example, the path would be \\firstserver\Share. Would it be better
to create a DFS on the server or somewhere else and have all redirects to
there. So, theoretically if one server goes down the other will take over
such things as DNS requests and AD requests?
Basically, I would like a server crash to be transparent to an end-user?
Is this the way to go or I am going off on a tangent?
TIA
