Hi,
I know I already posted a question today, but I think it's better to
post a message per subject. So, here is an other one.. ;-)
I have setup one (Windows 2003) server with the OTC server and manager
installed. This works well, but if the server goes down non of the thin
clients can be used.. It's a single point of failure.
What is the best way to backup the server? Can I just backup the
complete installation-folder? And can I just restore that directory in
case of an emergency?
I was thinking the following, please let me know if this is going to
work:
- Setup 2 identical Windows 2003 servers (hostname, ip-adsress,
etc is offcourse different)
- Install on both servers the OTC server and manager
- Server 1 will be the production server, and server 2 the
backup server (failover server)
- Make a simple script that copies the complete installation
folder from server 1 to server 2
- In case server 1 goes down, I only have to change the option
in the DHCP-scope so the clients search for server 2 and not server 1
Is this going to work? Or is there a better way to get a failover
server??
Thanx,
Jeroen
