How to setup 2 AD with 2 DNS in the same domain. backing up each other. like if I shutdown 1 but the other should reply when I ping the domain name. Please advise. Thanks

Hi There, I have setup 2 AD server, DNS setup on both replicating each others, 1 domain. AD1.testing.com 192.168.1.1 AD2.testing.com 192.168.1.2 when I ping testing.com ==> reply is from 192.168.1.2 Primary Dns on Xp is 192.168.1.1 Client is configure AD1.testing.com IP as Primary DNS and AD1.testing.com secondary DNS (search order). Both AD are in the same network. But when I ping from client "testing.com", AD2 replies instead of AD1. Why? If I down AD2.testing.com. ==> request timeout when I ping testing.com. I thought AD1.testing.com should reply when AD2.testing.com is down. Why? Please advise. Thanks Daniel.K

Hi there, We are thinking of moving to AD. Is there any tools to migrate current Windows XP Pro's users (around 1500 users) profile (current all on workgroups) to AD (Windows 2003)? Thanks. Daniel K Title Edited - Please follow new posting rules from now on. --Zxian
