Pretty much all you do is run dcpromo on another windows2003 server and

promote it to a domain controller. You will want to have it as a dns server

also. Then set the dns servers on all your clients to both DC's and when one

is down dns will find the other.

 

there are 5 FSMO roles however that if a DC is down for a longer period of

time you woul dhave to consider spreading them out or forcefully assuming the

role on the surviving dc which can be iffy sometimes.
