Inter-site replication and KCC, when migrating from 2008 SP1 to 2012 R2

hello,

we have simple ad infrastructure, 2 sites.  have built out 2012 r2 server, extended ad schema , promoted domain controller.  reviewing existing ad replication topology, have 2008 sp1 server dc designated source/destination inter-site replication, appears have been decided kcc.

i decomming 2008 sp1 server, having migrated off fsmo roles few other dcs.

will kcc automatically know adjust replication topology when 2008 sp1 dc offline?  should demote after migrating off fsmo roles?

thanks,

matt

hi,

thanks post.

by default, kcc reviews , makes modifications active directory replication topology every 15 minutes ensure propagation of data, either directly or transitively, creating , deleting connection objects needed. kcc recognizes changes occur in environment , ensures domain controllers not orphaned in replication topology.

for migration, transfer the flexible single master operations (fsmo) role , remove the windows 2008 r2 domain controller, please refer to:
