Hi everyone,
I have read a MS whitepaper regarding Forest Recovery. The process seems straightforward.
My question is regarding GC's, it mentions that you should disable the GC function on a restored root DC if enabled as this may contain a partial replica newer than that of the domain it's authoritative for.
If the GC function is disabled, you can't seize the Domain naming master FSMO which I assume would mean you can't add additional child domains. So would you have to disable then re-enable the GC function, seize the FSMO roles (ex IM) to the restored root DC (now a GC) before adding a second DC and making this a IM FSMO before recovering the child domains?
So my question is at what point would you need to re-enable the GC function on the recovered root DC?
This is assuming
it's a multi-domain environment...so would disabling the GC function be required in a single domain forest recovery? I would thought not.
thanks
