    Hello,

    when I have a domain with one Server 2012 R2 Essentials, 20 Client PCs with 20 Users and I want to protect against domain controller failure by installaing a second DC, can I install a second Server 2012 R2 Essentials in that domain or do I have do buy the Standard Edition and 20 CALs?

    Many Greetings

    Klaus

    Hi,

    We could not join a second Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 to an existing Windows Server 2012 Essentials domain. You will need to purchase Windows Server 2012 Standard plus appropriate CALs

    Hope this helps.

    Best Regards,

    Andy Qi
