I also learnt a lot about adding extra NS and PTR records using this gui tool (mydomain.com and _msdcs.mydomain.com), which would be nice to be able to do using 'samba-tool'. I have rebooted both DCs and tested logins and DNS. Everything is now definitely quicker without those old DCs in the DNS and AD. I can now perform the same cleanup on the live production network this weekend. Thanks, :) -- Paul Littlefield

I'm also trying to avoid single points of failure. I wanted to move from 4.6 to 4.7 so I put up two new 4.7 DCs and migrated the FSMO roles to one of the new DCs. Then I shut down the old one. But the SOA record still points there ! Would also be interested in any other considerations when switching DC roles. Pointers to a wiki, a howto or whatever.
