Urf. As was pointed out to me, with Windows Server 2003 service pack 1, the TSL was increased to 180 days. Period.
The BUG was with the R2 release that decreased the TSL back to 60 days. That bug was fixed in Server 2003 service pack 2 and the TSL is also 180 days in Server 2008. <sigh> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924890 I need to stop answering questions outside of my specialty.

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). Regards, Michael B.

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/> ~
