In a single domain setup make all DC's Global Catalogs. With 2 DC's I split
the FSMO roles as follows:

First DC: Schema Master, Domain Naming Master
Second DC: PDC Emulator, RID Master, Infrastructure Master

Hello sunil,

Make all DC's in a single forest domain GC server. No need for moving FSMO
roles. See also here about:

There is nothing special that will be required of you. Bring a new member
server up into the domain and run dcpromo, promote it to a dc and if you
have AD integrated dns then point your clients to this dc as a secondary dns
server.

Hi
-Add the sond DC and make sure that the clients have a DNS server to query
that DC and the other one.
-Making both GC and DNS servers is generally a good ideia. Assuming that
you're going to have on both DCs the DNS service, mnake sure that the
clients have in their NIC both DNS servers.

Sir
One more thing i want to know that if we have two Dcs (Dc1, Dc2) in a single domain forest. Dc1 have all five (FSMO) roles and another Dc2 have not any role but both Dcs are Global catalog and both Dcs have active directory integrated Dns. Then suddenly our Dc1 goes down and that is not recoverable, then how many changes require making the Dc2 like as Dc1.
Please resolve the problem

Thanks
