Hi joe,
If it's not too much trouble, could you list the steps you take
(including wait times) to replace a DC with the same name? I am
especially interested in how long a particularly named DC would not be
available to the AD audience. Thanks!

What kind of issues did you have Mark? I have replaced literally
hundreds of
DCs and maintained the names and have had no issues over the years.

No we are sticking with the same names and so far we have had no issues.
I make sure all records referring to the DC are removed before renaming
the
new machine and running dcpromo.

Are you going to use new netbios names for the DC's ?.

Appreciate the input, it verified what I had thought. But when I started
seeing if single domain, etc. well I had to ask. And yes refreshing =
dcpromo out and dcpromo on new HW.
Thanks

The IM is a domain FSMO role. SO the only concern is WITHIN the
domain....
No matter what forest structure you have for each domain the following
applies:
* If all DCs in a domain are GC, there is no other choice where to put
the
IM. So no issue here
* If at least other DCs in a domain (besides the IM) are not a GC, then
the
IM should not be on a GC
your method will work as long as the last DC, that is not a GC, being
refreshed (do you mean re-installed?) is also the IM
cheers

Let me ask if there is any issue with IM if all your DCs are GCs in your
domain, which is a child, but not all the DCs in the forest are GCs? We
have
been refreshing our DCs and making all GCs but the IM is running on the
last
one to refresh which is not a GC. We plan on transferring this role to a
GC
while we refreshing the DC it currently resides on. It will be a GC when
finished. Should I/we rethink this? We are at function level 2003.

Really, how so?
I 'solve' it by insisting that all DCs be GCs.

The issue with IM on GCs is solved in Windows 2003 for multi-domain
forests...
