I mean to say server and client use static ip address.

@ Everyone I have run one query to check the FSMO: C:\>netdom query fsmo Schema master RDB-DC.rdb.bt Domain naming master RDB-DC.rdb.bt PDC RDB-DC.rdb.bt RID pool manager RDB-DC.rdb.bt Infrastructure master RDB-DC.rdb.bt The command completed successfully. I get same query result in both the server (DC and ADC). As per the query above it clearly says that the primary domain holds the primary roles. Still i have a problem. The problem is : When i turn OFF the DC Server and keeping ADC Server ON, all the clients face probolem with network. When i turn OFF the ADC Server and keeping DC SERVER ON, all the clients face probolem with network. When i turn ON the DC SERVER and TURN ON ADC SERVER then the network works smoothly. As per the scenerio which i have configured, when DC SERVER gets down with some reason then ADC should have a capability to give the service to the client machine with making network down. Please help me. Thanks, TashiDuks

@Davit2005, yes both the server have DNS installed and Active Directory Integrated in both the servers. Can you give me more information about recovering the domain from GC and DNS on the second domain controller. By looking at the current scenerio and the problem which i am facing, will it be possible to merge TWO DC's role into single server?

@FN-GM, Thanks for the prompt response. Well to answer your question. The first thing is i didnt moved any role myself, all the roles are configured to those servers after i run the above mentioned procedures where i mentioned the link. As per the manual which i have followed to configure DC and ADC, it should be working fine like, if DC server is down ADC should get active and give the service but it is not happening. Both ther servers are DC Global catalogue servers and all the clients are pointing to DC's for DNS (all the client are having 192.168.1.252 as prefered DNS and 192.168.1.253 as alternate DNS).

Hi Everyone, I have Two server installed with Windows 2008 server R2. I have configured those two server in following manner: Server Name : BHT-DC IP Address : 192.168.1.252 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 Gateway : 192.168.1.10 Preferred DNS Server : 192.168.1.252 Alternate DNS Server : 192.168.1.253 Server Name : BHT-ADC IP Address : 192.168.1.253 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 Gateway : 192.168.1.10 Preferred DNS Server : 192.168.1.252 Alternate DNS Server : 192.168.1.253 Steps followed to configure the Domain Controller Server : I configured using the procedures from this link Setting Up Your First Domain Controller With Windows Server 2008 Steps followed for congifure the Additional Domain Controller server : I configured using the procedures from this link Setting Up an Additional Domain Controller With Windows Server 2008 I tested with creation of domain users in Active Directory to see whether the changes are been affected on ADC server, and i have found that its getting updated. Problem : When i turn off the Domain Controller server and keeping Additional Domain Controller running to see whether the Additional Domain Controller server is giving the backup service in the network, but this seems to be not working, our client PC are not able to login in their respective PC using domain users. I also tried in the reverse way by shutting down the Additional Domain Controller and keeping Domain Controller ON but still its giving similar problems. I think the roles for the servers has got split among those two servers, as what i have found out is that TO HAVE SUCCESSFULL RUNNING OF NETWORK BOTH THE SERVER SHOULD BE RUNNING AND IF ONE OF THE SERVER IS TURNED OFF THEN PROBLEM STARTS. Is there any ways to find out where it went wrong, as configuration of ADC is first time for me. Is it possible to merge the roles of domain server into single server so that i can reconfigure my ADC once again? I am worried that if i demote my ADC server then i would face problem. HELP IS HIGHLY APPRECIATE TO FIX MY ABOVE SAID PROBLEMS FORM THE EXPERTS OUT HERE. Thanks, TashiDuks
