I am trying to do a Symantec backup exec solution for domain controllers. The production environment which we have is composed of 2 AD domain controllers running on Windows 2008 OS. Both the servers are global catalogs and one of them is FSMO roles holder, as shown below:
SERVER1 - GC / DNS / FSMO roles holder
SERVER2 - GC / DNS / DHCP SERVER
My question is, if the Server2 crashes, should I restore whole system from the backup or should I just install new server with identical name/ip address, and include it into domain and dcpromo it and import DHCP database and authorize it on the AD level to start serving clients? If Server1 crashes then I think that I dont have other solution but restore the system from backup, is that right? Thanks.
