Jorge, Yes it is a test environment we will be doing it in. So much going on. Also just a quick question, is there a Inbound - Outbound replication fresh hold for a site bridgehead server?? I have read somewhere that it is 15? Not sure how this has changed with R2 also as we are still awaiting the software to install and trial.

Are you saying...."simulating the procedure in the production environment by seizing the FSMO roles" ? don't do that! use a test environment that is a correct representation of the production environment to do your tests! jorge _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Simon Bembridge Sent: Mon 2006-02-13 13:26 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Script to transfer FSMO roles. Jorge, If we are simulating a DR scenario running the script on the backup FSMO serve in site 2 will not be a problem??

Hi All, Can somebody point me in the right direction as to how to use a scripted solution for seizing the FSMO roles in case of a site failure? What we have is a W2K3 Domain, with two core sites and 60 branch offices. In the case of site 1 failing we want a procedure of activation a script so on the standby DC to seize the FSMO roles. Site 1 1 X DC Sch, Inf, DNM, PDC, GC 1 X DC RID, GC Site 2 1 X DC Standby FSMO role holder, GC 1 X DC GC Regards, Simon List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
