Hi all,
Apologies for the "simplified" language but this is the best way to describe this issue.
Recently I build a new DC for a remote office. DCPROMO'ed it in the central office and now it's been shipped to site for installation. Unfortunately due to non-techincal issues by the time I get on to site to install it, it will have exceeded the tombstone period.
Right at the moment the tombstone has not be exceeded so my question is, if I now extend the tombstone period in the AD which of the following scenarios will happen?
A. I connect the new DC up and the rest of the AD accepts it because it has no longer exceeded the tombstone period?
or
B. I connect the new DC up and it "tombstones itself" because as far as its concerned, it's exceeded the tombstone?
Anyone experienced this dilemma?
