Re: DC Replication help

Hi,

I have 3 DC on our LAN, and one on a remote site with only a 2mb link for DR
only. The servers are Windows 2003 and DNS is integrated.

What should my replication settings be and where can I check them? I looked
in AD Sites and Services and created a new site called "offsite" and put the
offsite DC there. I have also created all our subnets and set them to only
use the 3 DC's on our LAN.

Problem is I deleted a server on one of the local LAN DC's as I had to
rebuild it and it was still in the computers OU, it said it had been added
and I rebooted it and logged it onto the domain. Then a little later I
found it had dropped off the domain and is no longer sowing in the computers
OU, it is like one of the other DC's overwrote this or something?

Please help.



I'm not exactly following the problem. If you had demoted a DC, the computer becomes a member server, and the machine account gets moved to the Computers Container (not an OU).

If you had rebuild the machine, meaning that you had reinstalled the operating system, the machine account will still exist in the Computers container. If you kept the same name for the machine, and re-joined it back to the domain, it will refresh the machine account. If you promote it back into the domain, the machine account would move and should now show up in the Default Domain Controllers OU.

After you promoted it (assuming that's what you meant), did it show up in the Default Domain Controllers OU?

So I'm not sure what you mean by the following question -
"Then a little later I found it had dropped off the domain and is no longer sowing in the computers OU, it is like one of the other DC's overwrote this or something?"

Was it re-promoted?

Are any of the DCs multihomed (more than one NIC and/or IP)?
