loggin in on 2 different domain controllers


hello ,

i have  2 dc's 1 is  primary , other backup  (using old terminology) 

theses 2 replication partners......... wanted users able still login if dc #1 goes down.... needs in place dc #2 authenticate  users in leiu of dc1 going offline ?

how test this  (without havingto put dc1 offline)

backup dc - dc2 - guess, referring additional domain controller.

theses 2 replication partners......... wanted users able still login if dc #1 goes down.... needs in place dc #2 authenticate  users in leiu of dc1 going offline ?

configure dc2 global catalog , make sure use dc2 ip secondary dns on client machines. once dns configuration updated on client machines, take dc1 offline , and allow users log on domain. if users able log on domain without issues, confirms failover working seamlessly.

how test this  (without havingto put dc1 offline)

configure dc2 ip primary dns on client machines. once configuration updated, allow users log on. 

you may verify log on server running below command client machine

echo %logonserver%
