About adding application servers

You can add additional application servers to a web farm environment at any time, even if you did not configure your first application server to support a web farm.

When you install a second application server, the installation recognizes the existing application server installation. The Job Scheduler service on the existing application server is set as the primary by default, but you can set the Job Scheduler for the second (or higher) application server as the primary during the installation of its application server.

You install additional application servers the same way that you install the first application server. The installation process configures the application server computers as a web farm. For more information, see Installing the Central Designer application server.
