Hi,

I have a client with a network which has the following domains:

rootdomain.local

child.rootdomain.local

differenttree.local

differentforest.local

 

Now the most users are in differenttree.local and this domain is distributed with multiple DCs

The Child.rootdomain.local domain is also distributed and has multiple DCs.

However, the rootdomain.local has only a SINGLE DC!! So does the differentforest.local domain.

The differentforest.local domain is about to have Exchange installed as is the rest of the forest.

Personally, I am very concerned about the lack of multiple DCs in the Forest root and differnetforest domains.

Specifically, I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this matter including in particular what would happen if the one forest root DC was lost.

My client insists that they would simply restore the machine from backup and that all would be fine.

So ideas please....

 

Thanks

Nathan
