hi ravi prakash srivastava  ,

 

yes, if 1 of dc down , other dcs take charge client's request .

but please keep in mind when client login ,they located dc computer via dns record ,this mean have keep  the ad integrate  dns service stated , running correctly in domain network. , address of ad integrate  dns servers must listed in dns query server list of client side.

usually, ad integrate  dns service running dc on same physical server, please make sure dc servers can replicate each other correctly.

 

and have mentioned how make adc primary . if 1 dc hold fsmo roles occurred disaster can’t repaired, need  transfer or seize these roles other dc running correctly.

you may reference article implement operation:

 

using ntdsutil.exe transfer or seize fsmo roles domain controller
