The default tombstone lifetime is 60 days. Unless you changed it (not advisable) it is either that, or higher (don't ask - there was a bug that made it 180 for awhile).

How long can a DC remain offline before it goes sour? I have a need to build a small network then ship it off somewhere. It may end up staying in the crate for a few days as well, so let's say it could be off for a week. It would be a standalone domain and this would be the only DC for it. Its demo stuff.. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
