First of all. I am not sure what to search for so if this question has been answered already please post a link
I have a small network with only one DC running as file/print server in Windows 2003.
And 10 clients with XP and Vista mixed enviroment.
I recently reinstalled the DC, keeping the settings that I could keep such as IP, server name, domain name and so on.
So no exact copy of the settings with BackupExec or Acronis.
However when my client computers logs in to the new DC, their settings are way gone (such as Outlook PST files). And some computers can not login to the domain at all. I had to reinstall them manually to the "new" domain again.
Can I install another DC, backup DC or whatever it's called, and not have to worry about client computers running amok when main DC is reinstalled/crashed and so on?
Regards
Ben
