Hi Steve, (Maybe I should add this issue to the "OT-Biggest AD Gripes" thread!) Each of the actions I've taken so far, in my mind, should have gotten this DC back to the appropriate site. But it still thinks it should be in the original site! One item I find is the HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\DynamicSiteName still points to "site2". I did run across a Microsoft article that talks about this and to never change a dynamically determined value. Instead. you can create a a new value in the same place in the registry named "SiteName", REG_SZ with the value you want. Have you (or someone else) found the need to do this? Mike Thommes

Sent: Friday, August 05, 2005 3:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] concern about re-ip'd DC Hi, I have a Domain Controller that was located in a different AD site (site2) via its IP (naturally!). This DC was shut down about 2 weeks ago. I have since powered it back up offnet, given it a new IP (which is defined as a different site (site1)), and rebooted it on net. Some hours later, it still seems to think it is in the original site (site2), at least that is what I see in AD Sites and Services. Some minutes later...based on some googled and eventide.net info, I put in a specific subnet entry in ADSS for this new IP and associated it with site1. A reboot produced no change. So then I went to AD Sites and Services and did a GUI move of this DC from site2 to site1. Another reboot - no change. I see the dynamically created netlogon.dns file STILL has site2 identified! Any hints on how to "convince" this DC that it should be in site1? Anybody else experience this type of behavior? TIA!
