Hello,
We have typical requirement, wondering if Microsoft can advice on.
Our Domain controller is configured on Windows Server 2003 Cluster, in other hand we have machine on Windows server 2008 R2.
Requirement:
1. Can we configure domain controller on Windows 2008 R2, with both DC's(DC on WS2003 and WS2008 R2) always in sync. Note: Both DC should point to same domain
2. If point#1 is possible, can i switch my DC to windows server 2008 R2 by decommission of WS2003.
Basically, its like, I have primary DC and secondary DC. When primary gets down secondary should function as primary without fail. Only difference, primary is on WS 2003 and secondary is on WS 2008 R2.
Please advice on possibility along with steps to build secondary, switch primary to secondary.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
