    If you're not familiar with it, you didn't use it :) Usually what you'd do is set all your DistCache parameters (service account, memory usage) prior to introducing a 2nd DC host, but if you need to deploy a DC+FE host, you can use that parameter to prevent DC from provisioning.

    If DC is truly not working, you need a new farm. Certain things are only provisioned when the first DC host is introduced to the farm.
