Hello,
I've a domain controller which is running different servers, one of them is the file server.
Now I want to make the file server runs on another computer dedicated for this purpose only in order to reduce the load on the computer which playing the role as DC.

How can I do this ?

Greetings,

Do you have another server available, or do you want to use a regular workstation. If so you need to know that workstations will typically only allow 10 simultaneous connections on the network. You know if this will be a problem or not.

The next question is how complex is your current file sharing setup? Do you have lots of shares in use? If not just disconnect everyone from the shared folders, move the files to the new server machine and re-share the folders.

If it is more complex than that you might want to look in to Distributed File System options to replicate the files over to the new server but keep the path the same, effectively fooling the clients that they are looking at the original path but pointing them to the new storage point.

Thanks,
But how will the DC sees the file server ?
I've given the new file server a fast IP address from the reserved ones.
What should I do more to make the DC sees the file server.

As long as the fileserver is a member of your domain then the DC will see it.

Hello again,
I did it in a maybe simple way like this...
Just went to the computer management (on the DC ), and selected to connect to another computer. And under the shares I've shared the Hard disk of that remote computer (the remote computer is a member of the domain ), and finally I've published my new share to the AD, so all the users can see the shares via AD. And actually that was my problem to make the remote shares shared via AD.

Thanks for everybody...

Greetings,

Glad you got it sorted - that's the main thing
