Server 2008 in 2003 domain dns global catalog

[mirojr]

hi

 

Just running through process in lab environment or adding server 2008 to 2003 domain, as a second DC.

 

It is asking whether to add DNS and global catalog to 2008 DC

 

Whats best thing to do here?

 

Thanks

I'd add them if you want extra redundancy, GC allows it to provide auth when the main DC is offline and DNS keeps a copy of your AD integrated DNS running and available in case.

Thanks,

 

I thought that GC was only held by one DC. Learning.
