Branch DC Query 1

[Diffy1]

Hi!

Basic query really - if a DC at a branch office (connected to head office domain via a VPN) doesn't contain any FSMO roles how long could it roughly survive with local file and print if the connection to the main site was lost? Reason for asking was just thinking of running site to site backups from the main office to the branch as part of a DR plan.

Many thanks in advanced.

I always thought it would survive as long as the Tombstone lifetime was not exceeded.
