This is not a new DC, a second. No, I did not transfer the roles, why would I have to if the 2nd server is not going to be the primary? I am building this as a secondary in case my main DC ever crashes. I thought that this was possible with 2000... Is there something else that I should know...
I mean should I distribute the 2nd DC as a DNS server via the DHCP options? Currently here is my setup that is being distributed through the DHCP settings:
DNS Servers:
10.1.1.1 - NetWare
10.1.1.2 - 1st DC
Should I add 10.1.1.3 - 2nd DC through my DHCP options?
Sorry if I was unclear. :)

Yes, all have SRV records. Yes, the NetWare box is the only DNS server that is active when I turn off the 1st DC. Should I distribute the 2nd DC through my DHCP settings?

Quick and simple fix. :D

I am switching to Active Directory and am going to run DHCP, DNS, & WINS as well on Windows 2000 Server. I am currently running Netware 5 DHCP w/ no DNS. A few questions:
1. I have a 3-day lease for the IP's through Netware and am going to do the same for 2000. I currently have...

I use it here, and absolutely love it. Not that expensive, and you can completely customize if the client is notified when you connect. Also, it runs as a service under Windows 2000. There is a free trial on there website, so you can try it before you buy it.
