❓ Help System Administror

[docjrmn]

Good Day,

Ask ko lang po sa mga SysAdmin jan.
what is the best practise po para sa server?
Currently may dalawang server kami MS 2022.
for prodution and back up.

now.
hindi pa kasi sya nacoconfigure.
yung back up server yung konoconfig ko right now. for Active directory.
so need ko rin ba installang ng Active Directory yung for production kasi ang production dun ilalagay yung System application.
and since production server sya iinstallan sya ng fail clustering na sasalo si back-up server.

yung tanong ko is need ko rin ba ireplicate yung configuration ko ng AD sa back-up server to production server ??

Good day,

In terms of best practices for server configuration, it is important to follow the principle of separation of duties. This means that the production server should have a separate role from the backup server, and each server should have its own specific set of tasks.

In your case, since the backup server is configured for Active Directory, it is not necessary to install Active Directory on the production server if it has a different role. However, if the production server will also act as a domain controller, it will need to have Active Directory installed.

Regarding the failover clustering setup, it is a good practice to configure both servers to be part of the same failover cluster. This will ensure high availability and automatic failover in case one server experiences issues.

As for replicating the AD configuration from the backup server to the production server, it depends on the specific requirements of your environment. If both servers will have the same role and tasks, then replicating the AD configuration would be useful. However, if they have different roles, it may not be necessary.

It is important to note that server configuration is a complex process and requires careful planning and consideration of your specific requirements. It is recommended to consult with a certified system administrator to ensure that your server setup is efficient, secure, and meets your business needs.
