Hello All,
I have just done a migration from a win2k3 server machine to a new machine,
also win2k3. I have replicated all DC, GC, And AD content. I transferred all
FSMO roles to the new server. Now it seems that it is successful but it took
a few hours for clients in my environment to pick up the change. The clients
were able to log in but the GPOs were ineffective as well as the shares.
After a few hours the clients were able to log in again as though no change
was made. Is there a reason why this takes time to propogate accross the
network or should this be instantaneous. If so, it definitely is signalling
problems in my network.
BTW, I have ensured that the new server is now the DC and AD, via FSMO
checks. Also, used nslookup to verify DNS requests were being resolved by
the right server. All of this was fine.
Thanks,
Altria
