Re: Stupidest Mistake in AD History - It's almost ingenious, almost EVIL

I'm unclear as to why there would be any lingering objects?

Well, I still think that is important to determine when it was the last
time that its DC replicated successfully, before making any changes that
may lead to lingering objects.

Not that big of a deal. Just do as Prityush and Ace suggest and when
completed go treat yourself to a brew.

Hello,

I have been a sysadmin for a long time and I'm surprised I haven't made
this GIANT MISTAKE before.

I just installed Active Directory sucessfully. I made sure I had my
isp's DNS server configured on the network card. Ha! Get it? My ISP'S
DNS SERVER.

What a fruit filled idiot I am. AD install gave no errors at all. From
this, can I take it that AD installed all my AD resource records in my
ISP's DNS??? Otherwise wouldn't it have failed?

So now I can either reimage and start from scratch, or DCPromo and
remove. Any tombstones drawbacks to removing AD in the very beginning
this way? Is it clean? Would this be okay in production, to dcpromo
/remove a machine?

Also, is it better to install DNS or let AD do it on the fly during DC
Promo?

Thanks!!

Love,
John Catstrom
