I currently have a native mode domain set up within one active directory site. There are 3 domain controllers in this site. Because of some network issues, I had to take one of the domain controllers off of the network. This domain controller does not have any roles associated with it (ie.. pdc emulator, schema master, etc). My question is, how long can I have that domain controller off of the network? It may be a few weeks before I can get it back online. Will it just come back up and replicate or is there a time limit involved where the domain will no longer treat that domain controller as a valid controller in the domain?
Thanks in advance.
