Procedure DWCM.7: To add AD02 to the Fabrikam domain and log on as the domain administrator
Note
Joining a new domain will require you to restart the server.
1. Configure the local network interface to use the IP Addresses of AD01 and AD02 as
Preferred and Alternative DNS server.
2. Join the server to the fabrikam domain.
3. Log on to the domain as Administrator@Fabrikam.com.
Install the DNS Service on the Second Domain Controller
Install the DNS service on AD02 using the Add/Remove Windows Components utility.
Note
Unless you installed DNS components when installing the server, you will be prompted for the
location of the files. Insert your installation CD or enter a location on your local disk or your
network.

Verification Step
To validate that your domain controller is working as specified, run DCDiag from a command
prompt. DCDiag was installed as part of the Windows Server 2003 Support Tools. The most
important test you will see is the first one, which is connectivity. This test will tell you if your
domain controller is properly registered in DNS. If your tests are successful, you have a healthy
domain controller.
Configure the Second Domain Controller as a Global Catalog Server
The first domain controller in the forest (AD01) is automatically configured as a global catalog
server. For additional resilience, configure AD02 to be a global catalog server too.
Note
If you deploy this solution into a Child Domain, you must ensure that all Domain Controllers in the
Child Domain are made Global Catalog Servers.
