On Windows Server Systems, a domain controller (DC) is a server that responds to security authentication requests (logging in, checking permissions, etc.) within the Windows Server domain. A domain is a concept introduced in Windows NT whereby a user may be granted access to a number of computer resources with the use of a single username and password combination.
Additional Domain Controller (ADC) or Backup Domain Controller (BDC) is a backup computer hosting DC services to be used as a backup in case your primary DC goes down or is somehow unavailable.
The Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and BDC synchronise their data on a regular basis so that either can be used as DC.
In network first server has been install is call domain controller server.. If you wan t to check server is domain controller or, backup domain controller. you can check Run -> cmd -> net accounts If computer role will show PRIMARY it means your domain is PRIYMARY domain controller, if it will be show BACKUP, means you can assume my domain installed in my network is ADC (Additional Domain Controller) Hope you will get benefit..

No the reason it's called a primary Domain Controller is because it's the one controller that has all the domain names and address for that Domain.

Domains can be very complicated. If you create diffrent names for the domains it can couse issues in connectivity. The primary Domain controller should have the Base line name of the entire forest(All of the computers in a network) When creating second domains they can have subnames. Example: Primary domain controller is called Contoso.com, When adding other domain controllers they should look like this: Contoso.xyz.com If you create a domain with a completely diffrent name it will not be able to join the primary domain. If you create all the domain controllers with the exact same name then they will not know what to connect to or witch one is primary
What is the RID Master role? The RID Master is one of the operations master roles that exist in each domain in a forest. It controls the sequence number for the domain controllers within a domain. It provides a unique sequence of RIDs to each domain controller in a domain. When a domain controller creates a new object, the object is assigned a unique security ID consisting of a combination of a domain SID and a RID. The domain SID is a constant ID, whereas the RID is assigned to each object by the domain controller. The domain controller receives the RIDs from the RID Master. When the domain controller has used all the RIDs provided by the RID Master, it requests the RID Master to issue more RIDs for creating additional objects in the domain. When a domain controller exhausts its pool of RIDs, and the RID Master is unavailable, any new object in the domain cannot be created
To set up DNS for a child domain, create a delegation record on the parent DNS server for the child DNS server. Create a secondary zone on the child DNS server that transfers the parent zone from the parent DNS server. Note Windows Server 2003 has additional types of zones, such as Stub Zones and forest-level integrated Active Directory zones, that may be a better fit for your environment. Set the child domain controller to point to itself first. As soon as an additional domain controller is available, set the child domain controller to point to this domain controller in the child domain as its secondary.
You wont be able to access the network resources/login properly to your account.
The RODC refers to the additional domain controller for the domain that hosts the read-only partitions of the Active Directory database. It is designed to be deployed in a branch office environment.
