Active directory

Redundancy. If the primary DC fails, the other takes over. They both have copies of the AD.

Thanks, then if I have contoso.com with 1DC, how will I have other DC for the same domain. Which command should I use? Please

dcpromo just like you did the first time. Just join an existing domain this time.

I actually wanted to work out how active directory work in corporate world as I dont have any experience in working with active directory.
DNS has all the records for the domain which is distributed in different zones like primary and secondary. Now in the domain we have users. Now my question is what sort of records or resources are the user updating in the DNS for eg. the concept of dynamic update and non dynamic update. And why the updates should sometimes be secure?

If the user logins to the given credentials to him or her and if he uses internet to browse how this could be related to the DNS dynamic update??
