OK, I'm going around spinning my wheels on this one and the tread is getting kinda thin. :)
I've got a remote office which has an RODC that we're replacing. Rather than trying to do a direct replacement of the hardware we're moving from 2008r2 to 202r2 as well, so I stood up the new server, added it as a new RODC, etc. I've migrated all the printers, DHCP, and since all the file shares were DFS I added the new server as another node on all those. I've marked all the DFS shares for the old server instances as disabled so no one is accessing them, but what we're seeing is that as soon as the old server is taken offline file access times slow to a crawl. When I brought the old server back online (just powered back on) everything returns to normal. The only thing that I've found that was different was the Password Replication list between them, and I corrected that. This morning we simply unplugged the network cable and access is back to a crawl again. Obviously I've missed something in the picture but I'd appreciate some suggestions of other things to check. -------------------- Melvin Backus | Sr. Systems Engineer | Byers Engineering Company | 404.497.1565 Service Desk | 404-497-1599 | http://servicedesk.byers.com -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.
