We currently only have one domain controller/dns server set up. We have two physical hosts with multiple vm's on each host. This is the next project in line to get set up, so there is more redundancy if the primary server would happen to go down.
I'm going to make sure the new DC/dns goes on the other host that is not already using a vm as the primary dc/dns server. Were using Server 2008 r2.
What is the best way to get this secondary Dc/dns server set up so it acts as a secondary and replicates with the primary. Is it as simple as just adding the active directory domain services role to the new server?
