The subject of DR has arisen within the company and I need to plan what the best practice should be to get the company’s network back up and running at a seperate site. Picture that I am currently at a site which is a child domain within a forest AD Topology with only 12 Servers to use at the DR Site. Should I..
1. Restore my original DC from backup as a member of the original Forest, knowing that this could be rather tricky from a DR Site and I may have all sorts of Comms headaches in order to be able to replicate to the Master Forest DC/s.
2. Create a Seperate isolated Domain on a DC from scratch at the DR Site in order to get the business trading ASAP. The other 12 key Member servers are then built and added to that Domain.
Will I get problems later down the line when I then wish to goin add my new domain back into the original Forest?
