I have one domain controller. If I set up another server
and install AD on the existing domain and in the same
forest etc...if the main domain controller goes off line
will the second server allow users to continue to log on
to email and terminal server?
 
If you make the second DC a Global Catalog server and DNS
exists on the network then yes.
 
After it is a DC, you go into Active Directory sites and services, you go
into sites, you pick the site where the DC is located, you go to Servers,
you click on the + sign next to the DC's name, you right-click on NTDS
Settings, you click Properties, and put a check mark in the box that says
"Global catalog".

Wait for an hour or, reboot. Enjoy.
