I have 3 servers on my network.
PDC01 runs AD and Exchange.
SQL01 runs a customized sql program for our sales floor.
COM01 is a Citrix server.

My main concern is disaster recovery on the PDC01. We currently backup all servers and data, including Exchange (on PDC01), with Backup Exec.
If PDC01 developes a hardware problem and has to be taken offline what would be the best way to have one of the other servers take it's place?

All 3 are Win2k sp4 Dell PoerEdge 2650's.

I am thinking that I want to have AD on SQL01 also so it is psynching with PDC01 and users could still login but I am unsure about it.

Thanks for the help.
