Hi,
I've a single domain AD with 2 domain controllers. This week I have to
do maintenance to one of the DC's and have to take it offline during
buisness hours. Whar are the precoutions I must take in order to keep
the network running. I've tried it today to shut the DC down, but as
soon as the DC is offline all requests to Exchange from outlook and
access to shares accross the network fail. The client just hangs or
internet explorer prompts for a username and password. Both DC are
global catalogs.... And the DC I'm taking offline temporarily holds al
the FSMO roles. The DC I have to take offline is also a DNS server but
the second DC is also a DNS server and all clients have both DNS
servers configured.
