A Best Practice compliance error suggests having a 2nd domain controller. Is it legitimate to promote a member server 2012 to the 2nd domain controller for SBS 2011 Standard?
Issue:
The domain evolswsys.local has only one functioning domain controller.
Impact:
In the event of a failure on the domain's only domain controller, users will not be able to log in to the domain or access domain resources.
Resolution:
Add one or more additional domain controllers to the domain to handle authentication and authorization requests in case there is a failure on the domain's single available domain controller.
