I am trying to help someone out who wants some information on how to
replicate Domain Controller to a seperate box.
I don't know much about this stuff. I am really just looking for some
documentation that explains how that works and how to set it up.
I am not even sure if I am using the correct phrase when I say "replicate
Domain Controller". I know that they need redundancy in terms of if
something goes wrong with the box that DC is on or if there is a complete
site failure, how to make sure that DC stays up in running on another box
elsewhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Like in having a second domain controller and replicating Active Directory
between the two?
If yes,
Build the new sevrer, join it to the domain as a member server, reboot, then
start|run "dcpromo". Follow the 'wizard' adding an additional domain
controller to an existing domain.
A few additional tasks after that, but that's the essentials.

yes...that is what i am talking about.
is there any documentation on how that works and how to set it up?
I am looking for some step-by-step instructions (preferably detailed) and an
explanation of how it works. can this be done in a WAN? do they both share
the responsibilitie of DC when both are active or is there some sort of
failover if the primary one fails?
like i said, i am looking for any documentation, not necessarily for someone
to answer all of my questions
thanks
do both boxes, then share the load

Good. Homework time. Perhaps start here;
