Effect of Root Domain's DCs Downtime on Child Domain's DCs
hi all,
hope fine. wanted find out effect of root domains dcs unavailability child domains dcs. if model such resources managed on child domain , root domain there keep schema safe , sound.
thanks in advance.
what trying accomplish? you can't take root domain “offline” this. your schem admin , enterprise admin in root domain. if planning remove root domain, need perform migration.
since schema master , domain naming master , forest wide, following can happen if offline:
schema master – schema updates not available – these are generally planned changes, , first step when doing schema change "make sure environment healthy". there isn't urgency if schema master fails, having offline largely irrelevant until want make schema change.
domain naming master – no new domains or application partitions can added – this sort of falls same "healthy environment" bucket schema master. don't know of has randomly decided add a new domain forest without thought or planning...of course, again, don't know many people either... might wonder why mentioned app partitions there well...personal experience. when we upgraded first dc a beta server 2003 os included code create dns application partitions, couldn't figure why weren't instantiated...until realized server hosting dnm offline (being upgraded) @ same time. sure enough, came online , there were... i've never said perfect here...
also, hope child domain dc not pointing root domain dc dns.
