did you raise it on the "DC WITH the PDC FSMO role" or just a DC?
raising the DFL --> contacts the PDC FSMO
raising the FFL --> contacts the schema master FSMO

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] How to completely isolate a DC?
The change is to raise domain functional from Windows 2000
native to Windows 2003 mode.
As I understand, once I raised domain function level, the
ntMixedDomain attribute will be changed along with other functions (like
domain controller rename,user password support on the InetOrgPerson
objectClass, etc).
I want to test it on a isolated production DC first. Just in
case something happened, we can shutdown this DC without impact the
whole domain. Other than physical isolation or put a firewall in front
of the DC, is there any way to do it?
Thanks!

Subject: [ActiveDir] How to completely isolate a DC?
I need to make a change across our domain. My plan is to
make the change on one DC and test it, then roll out to other 50 DCs.
I tried to temporarily disable outbound replication of
Active Directory with repadmin by doing this:
repadmin /options +DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL
To my surprise, the change I made still replicated to
other DCs immediately.
So how can I isolate a DC and make sure the change I
made not replicate to other DCs?
Thanks for your help!
