Hello,
I manage a network for a medium size business (which I also own). The Windows 2008 R2 domain controller at the main office has one power supply and is currently offline until I get the replacement. People have been complaining about very long login times since the DC went offline, but everything is working as expected. DNS lookups are also obscenely slow.
It just occurred to me that there's another office with another domain controller/print/file server. There's a managed 1mbps/1mbps satellite link to connect the remote office to us. Is it possible that the other server is processing logins for main office users? It is a different "Site" in AD, but the same domain.
Is there a procedure to "sync up" the DCs once I get this one back online or can I just turn it back on and let it sync up on its own?
