securing a segment of a network

[Roger D Vargas <roger () ehtsc co cu>]

Im facing a problem here in my network. Due to an auditory, some years
ago I had physically split my network in 2, with 2 windows domains. One
network is for administrative tasks: accoutning, etc. The second, for
the educational side of my office.
Here is the problem. When we were ordered to do so, we didnt took into
cosideration that we didnt and  we would never have the resources to
keep 2 domains operating with some decent reliability. For example, I
just have one domain controller for each domain. I do not have and I
wont be allowed to buy more domain controllers. When one domain
controller breaks, or windows fails (yes, I have seen Windows 2000
shutdown and never wake up again without any cause) the whole domain is
lost.
So, Im planning to join both domains in a single one, but I need some
sort of protection for the PCs running accounting tasks so I can please
the future auditors.  what can you recommend?
