The one recommendation to make is that for DCs it's ok to use SCW to disable extra services you may not use on these machines (e.g. Error Reporting Service, Application Experience Lookup Service etc. ), however, you should not enable the Windows FW on DCs. If you do need to protect access to your

Steve, you actually don't have to be a Cisco expert for this one - this is rather unrelated to the underlying network technology used: AD supports super-netting for the configuration of subnets to define site-boundaries. Say you have a class C network that holds the majority of your clients and

Warning 1: YOU MUST MUST MUST still let DCs replicate, _in both directions_, _on a regular basis_. The regularity of the basis is based on the fact that AD replication must always happen end-to-end in the forest within a tombstone lifetime or you end up with lingering objects. It can be very

there is an easier way, although you might not be able to leverage it, depending on your situation. 1. you could promote the server to be the DC of a new temp-forest (will take the local SAM and make "normal" AD accounts and groups out of it) 2. then create a trust to your target forest and
