Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 2000 / October 2003Win2k replicating server
Hi All, I would like to add another controller to my domain in order to have a "backup server". I need to re-install the domain controller and I can't affor and downtime. the domain controller has win2k server and exchange 2k. Can I replicate the data and e-mails onto the backup server? If yes, could someone please point me in the right direction i.t.o. articles, papers etc. Thanks in advance and regards GB a DC will replicate AD stuff, not email.

You might want to post this question in the Exchange and Win2k server NGs. I don't know much about it... but replicating the actual DATA (docs, files and so on) seems to be a quite complex project.

Gianni has an SBS2K server and another 2K box as BDC and runs FRS on some dirs between them. He can't replicate Exchange because he has only one SBS, nontrusting and nonconnecting. SBS goes down. Gianni's client PC lose internet access and email but retain file access through the replicated file structure.Will this do? > You are not talking about SBS? right?

Thanks for the heads up SG !! Fortunately... I'm leaving this dreadful cold for the sunny/hot Miami in a couple of hours (so now I have something else to read in the airplane).

In fact he specifically said that they customer WOULD loose access to the internet and emails.

What I will do is to place another server (dormant from the user's point of view), and replicate AD stuff. Data and docs, I can always xcopy to a directory on server #2 at a specified time, emails I will, if there is no other choice, synchronize on the user's local PCs. A normal veritas (yuk) backup will run every night, and more than this I really dunno... THanks again and regards to all GB > I woudl be VERY hesitant to use FRS/DFS with Exchange!!!!! > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > > > > > > > > GB If you want that type of failover redundancy then you'll need to look to -expensive- 3rd part products like the Marathon offering.
