Domain shutdown for extended time frame

-

hi all,

i have weird question can't find answer to.  @ house i'm running 2008 r2 domain 2 domain controllers.  i'm selling house , need out within next 3 weeks wont moving house 3-4 months (maybe longer if contractors have way).  i'll staying in short term wont able setup network due lack of environmental controls , noise pollution. 

i know single dc can't away network x amount of time (i'm forgetting time frame @ moment), if dc's removed same amount of time?  in 20 years of server administration i've never had power down entire network 3-4 months.  can suggest course of action?

thanks

hi,

maximum duration depends on tomsbtone lifetime , depends on os version of first dc in forest , either 60 or 180 days. can determined tombstonelifetime attribute.

recommended not keep dc offline longer, introduce potential issues replication failures, authentication delays, etc..

see below articles, happen if specific fsmo down length of time, permanently or termporarily.
