Weird Active Directory behavior after ADMT migration

  • 772

We have multiple sites with multiple DC's. Since performing the migrations we have been experiencing all sorts of problems with DFSR etc.

We have multiple objects in the AD ..

  • DCNAME
  • DCNAMECNF:f9f56ebd-0883-4905-a82e-e152f3ba402c

anyone experienced this before? we are contemplating demoting & disjoining ensuring ad object gets deleted then rejoining the domain and promoting to DC/GC

  1. When you introduce 2 AD objects with the same name, a naming conflict occurs, and the oldest object will be renamed by appending CNF:<guid>.

    CNF: is probably short for "CoNFlict"
