Hi all here is the context. Do enlighten me if there is an easier way to do this.
Currently there are 2 data centers: DCA and DCB, with a grand total of 6 Windows domain controllers per data center. The plan is to decommission all servers on DCB.
Since these servers share the same forest, are there any ways to properly isolate them such that member servers on DCB side is still able to login with the domain accounts? Eventually, DCB's domain controllers will be demoted and decommissioned.
Is the above correct way to do so? If not, are there any suggestions on what the alternatives to the above are? TIA.
